Last two

Poor hubby is working 14 hours a day/ 7 days a week.  He has two plaques to finish for his daughters.  Sigh!  I generally do all the outside cuts, sand and paint or stain and he does the inside cuts.  He is better at setting the tension on the blades, mine seem to either be too loose and fall off or are so tight they bend....................practice , practice, practice!

Thanks Sheila and DW.  The Teddy ornament is Steve's Pattern.  The kitty one is one I found on the web.  A friend of mine just lost her beloved cat and I made this as a memory for her  tree.

You and your husband make an excellent team, your outside cutting is so smooth, well done.

Thank you everybody for the kind words.  I used to work in a factory and worked 10 hrs (union only allowed 10 hrs) 6-7 a week.  What a drag.  Got old real fast!!

Marg I do most of my outside cuts with the bandsaw.  Gives me a better cut and if I am painting them the burn on the wood doesn't matter.

The africian one is for my sister in law she is crazy about giraffes.
