The Scroll Saw Pattern Book
by Patrick and Patricia Spielman 

Now you'll never run out of ideas for making great projects with your scroll saw, for here are over 450 workable patterns, all imaginative, inexpensive, easy to follow.

Take a look inside and see how many ideas you can start using immediately. You'll find simple wall plaques, refrigerator magnets, and candle holders, along with alphabets and numbers for nameboards and signs. For real hobbyists, there are great gifts and popular-selling crafts like jewelry, ornaments, "pets-on-a-stick," shelves, and picture frames. And if you like to challenge your skills (and your scroll saw's versatility,) you'll want to try the beautiful recess, relief, marquetry, and inlay techniques.

And just think, you can multiply these 450 projects into thousands more with simple changes like enlarging or reducing the patterns (so easy now with readily available copy machines); flopping the designs (so that they face in the opposite direction); repeating the designs to create many interesting variations on a single pattern; and cropping part of a design (for example, using the head of an animal instead of the whole body). You'll even find some fantastic multipurpose projects, like a puzzle that can be made into a crayon or candle holder. And in almost every case, your scroll saw is the only tool you'll need (a drill would come in handy on a few).

Handy tips show you how to experiment with a whole range of paint and stain color schemes, woodburning, stencilling, and decal applications - everything you need to add your own distinctive personal touches.

Scroll Saw Pattern Book gives you a lifetime of patterns for projects that will bring you pride and satisfaction. There will always be something new and exciting for you to make!
