Default Back in the Shop

Hi All,
Thanks for all the support during the past month with the passing of my wife. It has been a hard time, especially with the holidays. I took some time this last week to go out to the shop and try to get some saw time. Here is the result of that time. It is a Jeff Zaffino pattern, The Big Four. It is cut from 1/4" oak ply using a FD 2/0 New Spiral blade. I stacked cut 4, for Christmas presents. I broke in the granddaughters Dewalt 788 for her, as she is only 5 1/2 months old now.
Comments Welcome! Great pattern Jeff!

Thanks again,
Tim

You've done a really nice job there, Tim. Perhaps a new angel had been sent to look over your shoulder while you were cutting.

Bet wishes

Nice work, Tim. I like that pattern - and it's nice to se you back on the board.

OK I just have to ask - why does a 5 and a half month old have a Dewalt?

So grandpop can break it in, Ian, that's why. Which I might add, you did a darn fine job of breaking it in Tim. My grandchild isn't even BORN yet and I plan on getting her/him their first scroll saw for next Christmas. Oh yeah, they do have to be able to sit up first, don't they?

I had to get her the saw First- to match mine Second - It was at a great price and couldn't turn it down. She is kinda of sitting on her own, for a short time. Been thinking about using a high chair customized to work with the saw. My daughter will be using it for a while also. Shehas some puzzes to cut out. She gives me a bad time for giving it to Charity Jean and not her. I told her she could use the Makita 16".
Had a good time cutting this out. Have a few other JZ patterns that I am looking forward to getting to the saw. Have a busy week with work, trying to get caught up. Taking time to go to Spokane for the weekend to visit a good friend.
Have A Great Week,
Tim
