This is a brilliant book for a beginner new to Scroll Saw woodworking, and even for a more experienced scroll saw user, it is excellent for improving skills or learning new techniques. The book comprises an introduction to working with a scroll saw, followed by 25 exercises which teach you first how to use and control the scroll saw and then different methods and techniques for producing projects. Within these exercises are several projects which, as well as teaching you, are very attractive articles.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of getting a scroll saw, new to scroll sawing, or who wants to improve their skills.
