Three-dimensional—and collapsible—castles can be made with a scroll saw with the help of these innovative patterns and techniques. The designs are cut flat and then layered to create depth. Instruction is given on choosing the best wood, as well as how to best cut the various parts of the projects, such as roads, drawbridges, spires, and heart-shaped windows.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Scroll sawers continue to produce some of the most innovative and creative woodwork, and these titles reveal several possibilities. Keener shows how to make 128 three-dimensional sculptures by cutting a design, reattaching the pieces, and then turning the project 90 degrees and cutting another design. With all of the pieces removed, one can view a different scene from each side. Ideas include religious motifs (Christ from one side and a Nativity scene from the other) and sports scenes (a batter one way and a pitcher the other). Stirling shows how to make beautiful castles out of pieces of logs or burls by tilting the work several degrees when cutting, the wood telescopes outward (but not all the way through) and creates towers and spires. Instructions are provided for several castles, farms, and buildings, reminding one of the popular Department 56 buildings and towns. Both titles have numerous color photos and excellent, easily followed instructions. They are recommended for all woodworking collections.

Phooey !,

This review is from: Scroll Saw Castles: How to Make Collapsible Castles on Your Scroll Saw (Paperback)
Unless you have an unending supply of burl wood, you don't have a chance of making one of these. The directions are also very poor.
