INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1. 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. Note: patterns are not provided for parts A through C; these parts should be cut according to the bill of materials. 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. 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 and cut along the lines (see Fig. 1). 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 it off. If a pattern is attached too firmly, you can use a hair blow-dryer. Be very careful because some cuts are very fragile.
