Creating Wooden Boxes on the Scroll Saw: Patterns and Instructions for Jewelry, Music, and Other Keepsake Boxes

Good reed & helpful with scroll-sawing.

Useful book

fantastic for my needs

J'ai adoré ce livre et l'ensemble des modèles qui y sont contenus. Plusieurs représentent un défi de taille même pour un expert. C'est exitant à réaliser.

I am absolutely astonished at how beautiful some of the designs in this book are. As an amateur scroll-saw'er, with dreams and aspirations of becoming a true expert, I looked at some of these jewelry boxes and other scroll saw outlines and was intimidated at how complex they look. However, with some time and dedication, they look like they could be ascertainable because the instructions are very clear and there is a clear section for beginners that helps get you acclimated and gives you crucial tips. These crucial tips are not always necessarily available from "that contractor dude who you taught you how to use a scroll saw but isn't really that amazing at it, but says everything as if it's 100% true." Everything these guys who wrote the book say is 100% true, and the proof is in their quality of work. Buy this book for some amazing finished products. Especially if you like intarsia (in -arsh-uh) because some of the intarsia designs in here with multiple different types of wood are amazing.A word to the wise: Don't get into scroll sawing if you're broke. Even if you get a cheap ryobi or SKIL scroll saw, you are going to pay buku dollars just in building materials sometimes. You can get by on the cheap with printed stencils from the internet and cheap wood from a lumber wholesaler and wood glue plus clamps.But to make truly brilliant products and intarsia, you need to have the different types of high quality wood in addition to nice finishing stains and gloss coatings or other finish coats. -Jay
