|  Oak Banks I got these patterns from a coloring book. I have made scroll saw boxes with them and made these coin banks too.

| Jim, I too make a lot of different patterns into banks. These are pretty cool. Would you mind showing how the coins come out, and what hole plug you used. My biggest problem is the bank plugs I purchased from one of the suppliers only allow a quarter to come out. In our world of Loonies & Toonies I need some suggestion on another method of plugging the hole. Thanks Marsha

| The way I make a door to remove the coins is: While cutting the internal cut on the bank, before I glue on the back or front pieces, I cut out a door at the bottom tapered narrower to the inside of the bank. I then reinstall this door and glue on the front and back making sure I get glue only on this door OUTSIDE the final pattern cut line. After I cut the outside shape the door SHOULD fall out. May take a sharp knife to tease it out. I then reinstall this door and drill a 1/8" hole through it and the front and back and insert a 1/8" dowel. This dowel holds the door in place and can be removed by pushing it out with a nail or a toothpick to access the coins. Jim

| Here is another way to put in a "door" to access the the coins if there is a wide enough base. Same tapered door secured with two screws. Need to be accurate installing the screws.

| Other scroll saw banks The base of this bank is screwed on from the bottom and comes off to access the coins. The opening in front is covered on the inside with plexiglass. This bank is 8 inches tall and a good seller here in Texas

| Really neat. I like your dowel idea the best. Also the Texas bank. Do you sell it as is or do you put a finish on it?
