Thursday Working – It’s Done

Posted on 02/29/2024 by Andrew Reynolds

Well, I finally finished the nativity set — just in time for Christmas 2024! Well, I finished the main set for this last Christmas, it’s the expansion set I just finished doing. Here they are:

A donkey, shepard and a camel. I cut all of these with my new Seyco scroll saw and I have to say it’s a wonderful saw. It cuts much faster than my old saw and it’s dust collection system is great.

Here’s a picture of the whole set:

The next project is to build a box to put all these in. Yes, I could just get a cardboard box, but I figure why not start a project to make a box that I could have completed by say, 2026?

That’s all the work for this week. If you need me, I’ll be at the computer looking a scroll saw boxes.

    Such a unique look. I hope the box has the same scroll saw detail.

    Andrew, these are stunning! Is it a mechanical saw or just elbow grease? Really deft, intricate work. I commend you, sir!

    They are so beautiful and more beautiful because you made them yourself. So satisfying.

    I do that a lot–prepare something and it ends up a year ahead. I agree about the wood box–that is a must.
