I recently saw this window at Susie Harris’ blog. I instantly fell in love with it. However I didn’t think it fit my decor. BUT, that was before I did my fireplace makeover. After gave my fireplace a new outfit, I decided something like this would be perfect for my mantel. You can click on the picture to go to Susie’s site. If you’ve never been there, check it out (later, after you read my post)
The first step was to make a paper pattern. I had specific plans for this faux window so it’s dimensions had to be within a certain scope.
I went back to the drawing board and tried again. It’s hard to tell the size of this. It is about 14x28.
I’m not a very patient person, when I want to start something I have a hard time waiting. See this nice sunshine? Don’t be fooled! It was about 38 degrees with a wind chill about 25. I had this curbed piece of Ā½ inch plywood. It was very difficult to get the paper pattern to lay on the wood due to the wind blowing so hard. Mostly I drew the curving parts and marked the corners.
I have a wonderful metal yardstick that is perfect for these types of projects. I used it to connect the dots.
I finished drawing it out on the wood, then I made dots in each of the corners.
I used my Black & Decker drill to drill holes in each of the corners.
I then used my jigsaw to cut out the square “panes”. I simply put the blade into the holes and sawed from one hole to the next.
Drilling the holes in each of the corners makes it easier…no corners to turn. You can see how this project turned out in my post faux window pt 2

What a great give-away, thanks for sharing. I love the line-finder feature as well as the easy dial. The pen clip on the cord is such a great idea, I hate searching for my pencil when I am working...and it is hard to always keep it on my ear!

I just became a fan on your facebook too... good luck to everyone.

Oh that is just too cool... I love that line finder... and the magnetic blade storage... and the fact that it can also do angles... and adjustable dial... this is a no brainer for sure...oh heck I just LOVE the whole saw... I am Canadian but can ship it to my BF's address in New York... hope that is okay.
PS... Loving your new banner... what a sweet daughter... and hope you have a wonderful birthday.
Hugs, Deb

I love everything about this! The linefinder ESPECIALLY, but the magnetic blade storage and adjustable speed just add to the glory. Thanks for the giveaway!!

I've been afraid of a jigsaw because I wasn't sure how to use all the settings. It looks like this one would solve that problem for me!

I've been shopping for a jigsaw! The B&D has been at the top of my wish list. I think I'd do a happy dance if I won... I'm a follower.

This tool seems to have everything you need - it puts my 25 year old Black and Decker to shame. What a neat idea with the light but I really love the dial. My saw only turns on and off, nothing special so adding these features to an already great item is wonderful.

And I follow your blog. So happy to have found it!

That light for the cutting line is fantastic! That's my fav feature! This is looking like a great Father's Day gift! Hmmmm...

Many happy returns!
The linefinder light is so cool. The glowing uv looks like it would be so much easier to see than pencil.
Caroline
Oooh! I like it when you have a birthday! ; )
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And I love following your blog.
I was just reading your post and then thought, hmph, I don't have a jigsaw, so no use even trying this one.
Maybe I'll get lucky? = )

I have just started with blogging and following blogs and yours I love. I could so use that jigsaw for some things I have in the works.

LOL-I must not have had enough coffee yet this morning..I clicked on the video and it was about drills. Completely threw me off for a minute. Is there anything NOT to like about the jigsaw?? THe light, magnetic blade holder, line finder and it's pretty š
Now that I'm pretty much unemployed I could have LOADS of fun with that baby!!!
Thanks for having the giveaway Gail š

My birthday is this month too. I think my hubby will faint dead away if I give him this link (http://www.blackanddecker.com/smartselect/jigsaws.aspx?WT.mc_id=BDSSelectJigsaw) and tell him that I want the "tool with the special glow-in-the-dark-thingy." I'd have to say it like that so that he can still keep his "man points."
Adrianna
I love the faux window! Wouldn't it be gorgeous as a headboard?! And happy birthday!
Linda
I'm new at this but would love that saw with the dial that I think would help me with a variety of projects.
Pam
What a really neat window, can't wait to see how it all turns out. Your room has really came along nicely. Nice saw...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Laurie at The Turner Farm
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, what fun. What's not to like, the line quide, the magnectic blade storage-always looking for blades arrgh. Have to admit though I scrolled right on by looking for your completed project, scrolled up and down in search before I stopped to read about the great give away. Looking forward to seeing your finished project.

I think with the SmartSelect dial, even a novice like me could use this jigsaw!

Happy Birthday Gail! My birthday is the end of this month...March is a great one, eh?
I would LURVE to win this, and I went over to the site to see what it's all about. I think the line finder and smart select details would make this a great first jigsaw for me š
