If you're anything like me, somewhere in your house or apartment there's every copy of ScrollSaw magazine you've purchased. (OK, that only applies to those of you who are into scrollsawing, but you probably wouldn't be reading this review otherwise.) This book puts all the best puzzles from the magazine into one place, which sure beats pawing through that pile of old magazines to find the puzzle pattern you're sure you remembered seeing but don't remember which issue from which year. I had already made several of the puzzles in this book but was glad to have them all in the same place. There's something for everyone in this book, whatever their skill level or complexity of their shop. Many can be made with a cheaper scrollsaw and access to a photocopier.

The only thing I would change in this book would be the binding. A spiral binding would make photocopying much easier.

This book has been used so much at our house it is almost falling apart. My son has used the patterns,made the puzzles, and sold them to pay for his scout camp fees for the last few years. It is our most used scroll saw book.

Very well written with graduated projects to have fun and learn scroll saw techniques for puzzels. Beautiful with simple projects for every level of talent. The entire scope of the book is well thought out and is a welcome addition to any persons art and craft library.

I love the puzzles in this book. The cover project is easy to cut and very striking while the other puzzles in the book offer great variety and will appeal to a wide range of tastes. All of these projects would make wonderful and unique gifts. Definitely new ideas for the person who has everything. If you love scroll saw puzzles, you won't be disappointed in this book.

Usually, I am disappointed by this type of book. This one actually has some good information. It is well written has some puzzles in it that I would never attempt to produce.

The book was more than I expected!! The only thing is that I wish it got here sooner.

This is a simple, instructional, easy to follow book on woodworking and crafts using the scroll saw I highly recomend this book.
