Collecting the most popular projects and useful scrolling techniques, this all-in-one reference is an essential bookend for all scroll saw libraries. While appropriate for all skill levels, new scrollers will benefit from a comprehensive section devoted to basic skills. This section includes articles pulled directly from the pages of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts on such essential subjects as choosing blades and wood, cutting, pattern placement, sanding, and safety. Beginners get plenty of advice on these basics before moving forward with novice projects, including simple Christmas motifs, a maple-leaf pattern, and a curious cat.
Renowned woodworking artisan and best-selling author Patrick Spielman presents an incredible collection of more than 235 decorative and functional patterns and more than 100 projects. Many of these projects are ideal for the beginning scroller and can be completed in an hour or less. Most do not require expert sawing skills or fancy equipment. Work with a variety of materials other than wood, including paper, plastic, and metal, and try your hand at using interesting finishes that make wood look like polished metal or an aged turquoise patina.
Fantasy and Medieval Mosaics for the Scroll Saw: 33 Patterns for Castles, Dragons, Knights and More
Medieval castles, armored knights, dragons, and crests are among the scroll saw projects included in this pattern-filled book. The popular segmentation style, which involves applying a pattern to wood, cutting the wood according to the pattern, rounding the edges, painting the pieces, and gluing them back into position on a plywood backing, is introduced and explained in these projects. The effect of the segmentation method is that the finished pieces resemble ceramic tile and stone mosaics created by the ancient Romans. Beginner or intermediate scrollers can simplify or complicate the projects by deleting or adding pattern lines
