INSTRUCTIONS Step t. Copy the patterns, saving the originals for later use. Step 2. Select wood to use. Step 3. Plane wood to proper thickness. Step 4. Cut wood to size of patterns. All straight-edged pieces should be cut to size on a table saw or equivalent for accurate cimensions and straight edges. Cut scroll saw edges oversize. Step 5. Attach the pattern to the wood with a spray adhesive. It takes practice to know the right amount: too much and the pattern is hard to remove; not enough and the pattern may come loose during sawing. Step 6. With a small drill bit, drill a hole in the waste area of each cutout. Step 7. Feed.scroll saw blade through the small holes ana cut along the lines. Feed the blade through the next hole and so on, making all of the interior cuts first. For exterior cuts, you can cut in from the edge or drill a small hole just outside the exterior line. Step 8. Remove patterns from wood by peeling them off. If a pattern is attached too firmly, you can use a hair blow-dryer. Be very careful because some cuts are very fragile. Step 9. Sand workpieces with belt or hand-held sander. Step 10. Remove any burrs and clean up any cuts with an Xacfo® knife or a needle pick. Step 11.
