This book indeed was written for a person just beginning to work with a scroll saw. The first chapter presents a thorough description of the types of scroll saws available, how they work, and what features are important. Subsequent chapters give the novice a practical description of scroll saw blades, a brief overview of the different types of wood and wood materials available, safety techniques, how to set up a scroll saw, types and sources of patterns, and easy to follow instructions on how to make the various kinds of cuts basic to scroll saws.The author includes come valuable tips, such as how to hone the burr side of a blade and thereby enable much smoother cuts.
