Step 2. Drill all of the holes in the plaque using the 1/16" drill bit. Step 3. Use the 2/0 reverse tooth scroll saw blade to cut out the inside of the plaque. Do not cut the perimeter edge of the plaque at this time. Step 4. Cut the backer board (to its approximate size) out of the Baltic birch plywood. Step 6. Use the No. 5 reverse tooth scroll saw blade to cut out the perimeter of the plaque. Carefully remove all pattern pieces from the plaque and backer board. Sand the plaque and the backer board. It is helpful to use double-sided tape to hold the delicate pieces of the plaque in place during sanding. To do so, first apply the tape to the back of the plaque, covering the most delicate parts. Next, expose the other side of the tape and tape the plaque onto a smooth and perfectly flat surface. You are now able to sand your piece and minimize the chance of breaking off small pieces. Carefully remove the tape from the back of the piece when you are finished sanding. continued on page 16 Step 1. Cut out the main pattern piece and place your wood. Spray a light coat of temporary adhesive on the back of the pattern. Allow this to sit a minute or two in order for it to tack up. It should feel like the back of a piece of masking tape—tacky, but not too sticky. Apply the pattern piece to the wood and smooth it out with your hand. Repeat for the band pieces. When all pattern pieces are applied, you may want to apply a layer of clear packaging tape over the entire surface of the design. This is especially helpful when you are using hardwoods, as the adhesive in the packaging tape acts as a lubricant and significantly reduces burning of the wood as you are cutting it out with your scroll saw. Step 5. Apply the backer board piece to the plaque by using spray glue and a piece of paper. First, mist one side of the paper and apply it to the backer board. Then spray the top side of the sheet and apply the plaque to the backer board. Creative Woodworks & Cr afts November 2004 • 15 |
