Great book for both beginners and experienced wood worker!,
This review is from: Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw: 30 Woodworking Projects That Are Surprisingly Easy to Make (Paperback)
This is a great project book for the person that wants to build simple boxes that look great and does not require a lot of experience.The book layout consists of a color photo of the completed project, a pattern that you can photocopy and glue onto the wood and detailed photos of how to build them. The book does not show how to build every box because once you see how to build a certain type, the other are just variations on it. The tools needed are a scroll saw (bandsaw will not work),power sanding tools (belt or disk and small drum), clamps, and a drill(drill press is better).

This review is from: Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw: 30 Woodworking Projects That Are Surprisingly Easy to Make (Paperback)
I made my first box in record time - not hard at all, but don't try to shortcut on prep of the wood. (and look out for hardwoods that burn from scrollsaws running too fast.) Very cool! A good confidence builder for scrolling; I particularly like how they guide you on making all-wood hinges for the boxes.

This review is from: Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw: 30 Woodworking Projects That Are Surprisingly Easy to Make (Paperback)
I have been involved in woodworking for some 50+ years and recently started to look for another avenue to explore. I purchased a scroll saw and needed some plans and hopefully some hints on how to proceed. This book has provided me with a wonderful source of creative box making projects starting with simple boxes and moving along to more advanced. The choices and skill levels are rewarding to the woodworker as well as to the person receiving the finished project. Great plans that produce great results. The author has taken considerable space in this book to guide the beginner in wood choice, scroll saw and blade choices as well as finishing techniques. Hints and suggestions are seen throughout the book. I am very glad to have found this book and from it, I am now making some wonderful gifts and enjoying every minute with my scroll saw and hand tools.
