    7} Wood Magazine Scrolisaw Patterns ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. A great deal of appreciation is due to the past and present design and editorial staff of Meredith Corporation's Better Homes & Gardens® WOOD” magazine for many of the patterns, projects, and technical advice presented in this book. Individual scrollsawyers also contriouted their designs, and they're noted on page 192. A special thanks is due to Rick Hutcheson, a prolific professional scroller Whose savvy of the craft appears endless. Thanks, also, to the tips and tricks provided by fretwork hobbyist Carl Weckhorst. and skilled scrolisaw craftsmen Roy King and Scott Kochendorfer. And finally, much gratitude to Administrative Assistant Sheryl Munyon at WOOD? magazine, Jackie Keuck, Meredith's art library manager, and Cheryl Cibula for their offorts in helping me assemble all the material that appears within these pages.

That's why in the crafts field you find plans available for furniture of all types, and patterns for everything from needlework to rosemaling. There’s nothing wrong with working from a plan or pattern. Nearly everyone requires a starting place— so consider this book of scrollsaw patterns to be yours. b 8 + intRoDUCTION On the following you'll discover patterns for wnimals and autos, birds and buildings, people and places— just about anything imaginable.

Some scrollers always tum to spray adhesive because they find that the rubber cement on very lange pattems dries too quickly and the pattern lifts up before they've finished cutting, ‘This isn’t a problem with spray adhesive, and the pattern comes off easily with lacquer thinner or lighter fluid On the other hand, other scrollsawyers believe that nothing tops g on paper patterns because it's cheap. fast, holds the pattern firmly, goes on without the jiffy (A). Asa in buy the cement in gallon containers, rubber cement for sticl ssle of tape or aerosol overspray, and cleans up in a 1d then transfer it to smaller jars. And rather than peel off the pattem, you can remove it at your stationary belt sander, a technique that clearly flattens the workpiece’s top surface ‘There are times, however, when tracing a photocopied pattem directly onto the wood 54 -ms appropriate. When you do, be sure to use transfer paper (available at artsupply, crift-supply, and fabric stores), not carbon paper, because transfer paper won't stain the wood. Use white or yellow transfer paper for dark woods, and blue, red, of graphite for light ones, 10 © GETTING STARTED SCROLLING 4-1. Many scrolsawyers use rubber cement for sticking on paper patterns because it's quick, holds the pattern firmly, and cleans up ina jity USING PERMANENT PATTERNS Paper patterns, of cours cut up during the scrollsawing, Although it’s easy enough to create another one at a copy it's.a better make permanent templates for to machi those patterns you'll frequent ly return to (-2).

Another material that is good to use is plastic laminate, such as that used on counter: tops, because it’s thin and durable, The advantages of using plastic templates are that you can fit many into a small box, they are inexpensive, they don't wear out. It is rec ‘ommended that you number the templates on the back and keep them referenced in a notebook, along with com: ments regarding use. The ea plastic templates is to cut them out when you saw the proje the template material to the bottom of the workpiece with doublefaced tape i ch one’s st way to make 's basic shape, adhering SCROLLSAWING MATERIALS Wood has been the mate choice for scrollsawyers. the craft's birth. But all wood isn't equal, and that’s due to density. Uniform density should be the first characteris tic a scrollstwyer looks for when selecting stock, either hardwood or softwood. Why? Sawing across constantly changing densi ss makes for labored sawing. Softness allows the blade to spurt ahead. Encountering harder spots brings the biade to a halt, Steering wood that is of varying densities becomes a fight berween soft areas grab bing the blade and harder ones deflecting it, Staying on the pattern line is difficult at best. With both hardwood and softwood, you'll have better 3s with flat- mn stock (stock with the end grain running parallel to the cutting surface). The vert cal end grain of quartersawn stock tends to trap the blade in the soft part of a growth ring, This makes cutting along, the stock's length difficult. most scrollsawing suck 1-2 Make permanent templates for those patterns that will be tre- quently used. A variety of materials, including cardboard, ve" hard- board, and even plastic, can be used for templates. Hardwoods and Softwoods Among the hardwoods, you'll discover that basswood, butter nut, cherry, oak, soft maple, walnut, and yellow poplar are agreeable stock for scrolisaw- ing. In the softwoods, pine (1-3), cedar, and fir—especial Jy dimensional construction stock—prove popular. All soft woods, though, don't always meet the uniformlensity crite- ria, due to the usual difference between the hard, dark part of a growth ring and the soft, lightercolored seament. Looking for softwood stock ‘that has less distinct rings is time well spent. You can also find cconomy in the lesser grades of hardwood and soft wood, if you're willing to move your patterns around to diminish the effects of knots and other flaws. Lower grades may also adapt well to scroll sawn projects that you going to paint anyway. Remember, though, that solid stock—particularly thin material—tends to break ‘where the grain nuns across a narrow part of a pattern. If you cant adjust a pattern on the Serolisawing Materials 11 stock to avoid these potential breaks, you'll be better off using plywood, Plywoods Plywoods are the frequent choice for scrolisawing, ‘Traditional softwood plywood is available in Mio", Sie’, i", and MW thicknesses. Balticbirch plywood and simitar eraft ply- woods provide better stability, strength, and uniform density because of a greater number of plies, However, many of this type are sold in metric thicknesses for which you have to account in planning, ‘The greatest advantage of ‘these multilayer plywoods is their lack of interior voids. Hardwood plywood with a solid core presents another voidless option, and it’s sold in thicknesses down to 1" Metals ‘You might want to try non- ferrous metals, if they’re soft. Aluminum and brass are the choices for scrollsawing— never try to saw ferrous metals, such iron and steel yen if your scrotlsaw singlespeed model, you'll be able to handle light-duty metal cutting.

However, you can work around these defects {0 utilize most of the board. variable-speed machine, move down to a lower speed. ‘You won't even be able to cut soft metals, however, with blades designed for wood. Blades designed for soft metal ‘cutting are often called jewel: ‘er's metal-piercing blades ‘They're harder than traditional wood blades and have finer teeth, Although both wood- cutting blades and metal-piere ing blades carry number desig: nations, remember that a No. 6 serolisaw blade and a No. 6 metal piercing blade aren't the same! Maiorder woodwork ing suppliers and similar stores, as well as many tool caters, sell metakpicreing, blades that fit ordinary scroll saws (plainend type blades). ‘Remember, when you buy blades, buy plenty, because you'll break a lot of them as you get the hang of sawing ‘metal A scrolisaw isn't as forgiving with metal as itis with wood. Some side pressure on the blade is possible when you saw’ ‘wood, but in metal, it makes the blade heat up quickly, and then break. When cutting metal, always feed it directly into the blade at a moderate rate, and keep the force on the front of the blade when ‘you go into curves and tums. Lubricating the blade helps, too. Beeswax is your best bet, but silicone spray, sewing: machine oil, petroleum jelly, and even kitchen shortening will work, Frequently reapply whatever you use to extend blade life. ‘To more easily scrollstw thin sheet metal, put it bet- ween two pieces of 58" of 13" thick sceap wood, Secure it with tape, and then affix the pattern to the top of the wood. For thicker metal, adhere the pattern to the top of the material with rubber cement and cover the bottom of it with masking or other tape to avoid scratches. Be sure that you leave plenty of metal around the pattem to hang on to, Know what to buy when you shop for metal, Aluminum up to 1" thick will scrolisaw well; any thicker takes patience and practice. You'll find suitable aluminum at home centers and some fume Deryards, as well as at hobby shops and retail metal dealers.
