The scrollsaw is a versatile machine which lends itself to a host of practical and decorative projects. It is not difficult to use, and good results can be obtained in a short time, even if you have little or no prior experience of woodwork. Scrollsaw experts Julie and Fred Byrne tell you all you need to know to get started on this absorbing hobby, from choosing the right equipment and materials to colouring and finishing your completed work. You will learn how to set up your scrollsaw so as to get the best possible results from it, and how to work safely and efficiently.
