Pa's Shop Sign - Scroll Saw Project

One of my neighbors saw one of these hanging in my shop that says 'Dad's Shop', which I got the pattern for off of Steve Good's Scroll Saw Workshop website. She asked me to make her one that says Pa's Shop to give to her Dad for Father's Day. I cut this out of a 1x8 pine board that I had.


I painted it up, and had a hard time getting the red paint to turn out smooth, so I had to redo it after this photo was taken. I don't know why I didn't get a new photo.

Small Drill Press Table For Accurate Drilling

I have a mall Craftsman bench-top drill press. I watched Steve Ramsey's video on how to build a table for it, and thought that looked like a project I could finish in one afternoon. I already had the wood needed, but I did have to make a store run for the hardware.


The only thing I would do different, is make the table surface a little wider. Otherwise, I'm happy with it and it works excellent. So far, every time I've used it, I've put a board down between the table and my workpiece to deep from damaging the surface.
