Restocking Spiders From The Snazzy Spooks Collection

| Wood Toy Spider Cutout On My EX21 Scroll Saw |
I made another batch of spiders today. I cut these on my Excalibur EX21 scroll saw using a Pegas #3R Modified Geometry blade. Quality checks are done throughout the process, and defective spiders are discarded. One spider out of five was discarded this time.
The wood is pine and was prepared by sanding it before I applied the pattern. I print my patterns on a laser printer using Inkscape. I prefer to use 3m 77 adhesive to adhere patterns directly to the wood. The patterns and adhesive are easy to remove with mineral spirits, and there is no damage to the wood surface, as sometimes when I use blue painter's tape. After applying the patterns, I cut the boards into smaller pieces using a miter saw, with one spider per piece. Cutting the patterns apart is optional. I like to work with smaller pieces and find rectangular cutoffs easier to work with later.
Once the adhesive is removed, the spiders are sanded again using a sanding mop, belt sander, and random orbit sander.
