Lucky Locomotive

by Wildwood Designs

sawn by Wes Demarest

One of the best known silhouette patterns to come from Wildwood Designs, this train was featured in our August 1995 issue.

INSTRUCTIONS

Adhere the pattern, found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 2, to the wood with temporary-bond spray adhesive. Drill blade entry holes for the interior cuts and saw out the pattern, beginning with the interior cuts and working your way out to the exterior. Remove the pattern from the wood and sand as needed. Apply finish of choice to the silhouette and let dry.

Cut a piece of velvet board (see Fig. 1) slightly larger than the pattern piece. Using tacky glue, adhere the board to the back of the pattern piece, clamping it firmly in place (see Fig. 2). With a No. 0 blade installed in your scroll saw, saw around the perimeter of the pattern to cut off the excess velvet board (see Fig. 3).
