Отрывок из книги
For all the times I interrupt your day to say, “Debbie, do you have a minute? Come see what I am working on.” You are my biggest fan, and without your constant support and encouragement, this book would not have been possible. Thank you for giving me that nudge I needed to do this. I love you, Deborah Jean, with all of my heart. This is your book as much as mine.
I’m excited to share that passion with you here, in Circular Scroll Saw Designs. In this book, I share everything you need to know to get started with fretwork, along with 27 of my favorite scroll saw patterns suited to a wide range of skill levels. I cover essential materials, provide a tool guide, and walk you through basic techniques—with great tips and tricks I’ve gathered over the last fifteen-plus years. I also include information on finishing for a beautiful end result.
