Christmas Decorations Part 2

Of course we cannot have just some lonely lights more decorations are needed.  So back to the garage and here is a simple sentiment for the season that I made.

Using common pine 1x12 and a jig saw I cut out JOY.  Here I am working on the O.

I find it easiest to work out a scale sketch first.


Here are the letters are cut out.


Now to add a way to anchor them.


I used stainless steel screws to mount the stakes.  I had also considered making each letter separate but is hard to keep them from turning in the wind when they are put in as separate letters.

Now to add some color.  Red of course.





And installed.





Next I need to make two Angels.

More Later
