INSTRUCTIONS

Preparing the wood

Copy the patterns, saving the originals for future use. After selecting your wood, plane it to the proper thickness. Cut wood to size of patterns. All straight-edge pieces should be cut to size on a fable saw or equivalent for accurate dimensions and straight edges. Cut scroll saw edges to be oversize.

Attach the palterns to the appropriate wood pieces using spray adhesive, (it may take some practice to determine the right amount of adhesive to use. Too much adhesive, and the pattern is difficult to remove; too little, and the pattern may corne loose during sawing.) Align the straight edges of the patterns with the straight edges of the cut wood.

Using a small drill bit, drill a hole in the waste area of each cutout. Feed the scroll saw blade through the small holes and cut along the lines. Feed the blade
