Creating Wooden Boxes on the Scroll Saw: Patterns and Instructions for Jewelry, Music, and Other Keepsake Boxes (Fox Chapel Publishing) 25 Fun Projects (The Best of Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts)

I am absolutely astonished at how beautiful some of the designs in this book are. As an amateur scroll-saw'er, with dreams and aspirations of becoming a true expert, I looked at some of these jewelry boxes and other scroll saw outlines and was intimidated at how complex they look. However, with some time and dedication, they look like they could be ascertainable because the instructions are very clear and there is a clear section for beginners that helps get you acclimated and gives you crucial tips. These crucial tips are not always necessarily available from "that contractor dude who you taught you how to use a scroll saw but isn't really that amazing at it, but says everything as if it's 100% true." Everything these guys who wrote the book say is 100% true, and the proof is in their quality of work. Buy this book for some amazing finished products. Especially if you like intarsia (in -arsh-uh) because some of the intarsia designs in here with multiple different types of wood are amazing.A word to the wise: Don't get into scroll sawing if you're broke. Even if you get a cheap ryobi or SKIL scroll saw, you are going to pay buku dollars just in building materials sometimes. You can get by on the cheap with printed stencils from the internet and cheap wood from a lumber wholesaler and wood glue plus clamps.But to make truly brilliant products and intarsia, you need to have the different types of high quality wood in addition to nice finishing stains and gloss coatings or other finish coats. -Jay

A good variety of designs with detailed instructions and pro tips - well worth the money.

Person I gave it to liked it.

a little disappointed in this book in that it concentrated on actual projects rather than the mechanics of doing the task . this is possibly my fault but one is to some extent buying a pig in a poke when ordering online . perhaps an included video would help for beginners . while commenting on this , may i say how annoyed i was when you recently sent me an email suggesting several items i might be interested in , only to find when i went thru the ordering process , that you wd not send to my address . no explanation given . have you got something against Australians (apart from the fact that our dollar is now worth more than yours ) ?

If you like to use the scroll saw and you are like me, you can never have enough patterns and projects to create.Very nice selection of boxes with full instructions in color, with details and how to make the box and put it together. Can't say I like every box, but that is a matter of taste, even one will have a different opinion. There are still many ones I like and will be creating hopefully soon.Very happy with my purchase, would buy again. If you are a scroller, you should look at this one.

This book has a wide range of projects that vary from intermediate to advanced. Some of the designs are simple and elegant, others are quite challenging and intricate. Using various hardwoods, each box can take on an entirely different look. So it is certainly enough to keep one busy for a long time to come.

...and I wasn't disappointed!!! The pics are clean and well organized and the instruction is written so a woodworking novice, such as myself, could easily follow along. There's also a nice variety of projects that can be done with moderate skill to the absolute pro. I bought this book for the filigree scroll saw boxes and was surprised that there were a couple inside. Love this book! Can't wait until I can get started!!

My son requested this for Christmas and he loves it.

Good reed & helpful with scroll-sawing.
