Full-Sized Patterns

The "3-D" technique perfected by King and Kochendorfer (better known as Scroller) eliminates unconnected interior cuts. They've designed the individual pattern elements so that you can start every cut from the exterior of the piece. For example, if you look closely at the house silhouette, you'll note that the windows and other interior cuts conncct to the outside profile.

Designs like this that require no drilling of start holes can be worked fairly quickly. However, the resulting cuts often leave very delicate connections between sections. So. you need to take care when cutting and handling the silhouettes not to break off any of the sections. However, if you miss a cut or break off a section, don't panic. You'll find the Winter Sleigh Scenc truly for

giving: if you don't follow the pattern precisely, no one will know. Should you accidentally cut through a connecting section, or if a piece breaks away, simply glue it back in place.

Designers Roy and Scott have developed a fairly foolproof method to ensure professional-looking results—even if you've never tacklcd a scrollsaw project before. Read on to find out how thev do it.
