Product Description
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. Not to be overlooked, a variety of intermediate and advanced patterns and projects are also included, along with the techniques needed to create them—such as compound cutting for a chess set, fretworking for an intricate Victorian doll bed, intarsia for holiday ornaments, and stack cutting for a classic corner shelf. Seasoned woodworkers will enjoy the chapter committed to using unusual materials such as corian, coins, stained glass, and vellum. Each pattern design is taken from the workshops of today's top designers, including Rick Hutcheson, John Nelson, Gary MacKay, Karen Longabaugh, Sue Mey, Kathy Wise, and Gary Browning.

This review is from: Big Book of Scroll Saw Woodworking: More Than 60 Projects and Techniques for Fretwork, Intarsia & Other Scroll Saw Crafts (Paperback)
This is a great book. I wasn't sure if I should get it, because I couldn't find any reviews anywhere. I decided to go for it, because it was written by the people at scroll saw magazine. I'm glad I did. I've only read the first chapter so far with basic "how to" info. I'm already seeing a huge improvement in my projects. I'm getting smoother cuts and crisper corners, and doing it at a faster pace. I can't wait to do some of the projects they provide. The only improvement I would suggest is making it spiral bound for easier photo-copying of the patterns.

Being new to scroll sawing, I appreciate the fact that this book has lots of pictures, diagrams and detailed instructions. It explains techniques, tips and tricks from project beginning to finish in easy to follow language. It also includes a lot of great patterns that go from simple to very detailed. If you're new to scroll sawing, I highly recommend this book. I believe skilled scroll saw workers will find useful information in this book as well.

Most of the patterns are duplicates of ones published in the magazine. So if you have all the past issues and patterns, you already have these. If you do not there are some very cool patterns here.
