INSTRUCTIONS

Make the parts

Copy pattern so you have the original for later use. Select wood to use and plane to proper thickness. Cut wood to size of pattern. All straight-edged pieces should be cut to size on a table saw or equivalent for accurate dimensions and straight edges. Cut scroll saw edges oversize.

Attach the pattern fo the wood with a spray adhesive. It takes practice to know the right amount; too much and the pattern is hard to remove (hint: a hair blow-dryer works great for pattern removal); not enough and the pattern may come loose during sawing. When you attach the pattern, cut along the straight edges and place it on the straight edges of the wood you have cut.

With a small drill bit, drill a hole in the waste area of each cutout. Feed scroll saw blade through the small holes, making all the interior cuts first. For exterior cuts, you can cut in from the edge or drill a small hole just outside the exterior line.

Remove pattern from workpiece by peeling it off. If it is attached too firmly, you can use a hair blow-dryer. Be very careful because some cuts are very fragile.

Sand workpieces with belt sander or handheld sander. Remove any burrs and clean up any cuts with an X-acto knife or a needle pick.
