All instructions come with template drawings! After an introduction to the possibilities of the scroll saw and some notes on materials and safety at work, the book offers a complete beginner's course. In 25 practical exercises that increase in difficulty, beginners progress to advanced levels. The techniques practiced here on both practical and beautiful objects build upon each other. It starts with simple figures like a fish and ends with more complex projects: puzzles, letters, and a frame for a basket. Learning is fun from the very beginning! Target audience: anyone who wants to work with a scroll saw or coping saw; educators who want to incorporate simple craft work.
