Renowned woodworking artisan and best-selling author Patrick Spielman presents an incredible collection of more than 235 decorative and functional patterns and more than 100 projects. Many of these projects are ideal for the beginning scroller and can be completed in an hour or less. Most do not require expert sawing skills or fancy equipment. Work with a variety of materials other than wood, including paper, plastic, and metal, and try your hand at using interesting finishes that make wood look like polished metal or an aged turquoise patina. Make key-chains, bookmarks, objects d'art, holiday ornaments, crosses, fretwork shelves, clocks, candlesticks, boxes, name signs, dimensional scenes, trivets, and more. The motifs used range from animals and people to Celtic designs to sports and holiday themes. A review of basic techniques and illustrated instructions help you complete these fun and easy projects!

Presents 450 patterns for scroll saw projects, including wall plaques, refrigerator magnets, candle holders, alphabet letters, numbers, jewelry, ornaments, shelves, and picture frames, and projects using recess, relief, marquetry, and inlay techniques.

The author of the bestselling "Wooden Bowls from the Scroll Saw" returns to offer her creative spin on box projects.

Well, maybe not "instant," but Pat Spielman's latest collection delivers more quick and easy patterns and projects than you'll find anywhere else in print. And because they come from the workshop of the most popular author in the field of woodworking, you can count on them to be attractive and popular as well. The secret of the Spielman quick-and-easy method lies in his pre-painted artwork-patterns that are already prepared, which you adhere to a piece of wood, and then simply cut out the pieces with your scroll saw. Once you finish sawing, your work is done--no additional painting or finishing is needed. All the basic guidelines are covered, from care and maintenance of your saw and other equipment, to decoupage and other application techniques, to proper cutting methods. Nowhere else will you find so many charming projects: a Bear Hearts Umbrella, Ballerina Bunny, Birdhouses on Poles, a What I Did at School Today Magnet, a Key House, and many others, including a versatile alphabet design with animals that go with each letter. You can also create some more difficult-looking projects like the Floral Clock, a Rocking Boy Clock, and a Gargoyle. Then enjoy making holiday gifts from a basic seasonal tree that you can decorate for Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas, the birth of a baby, and actually just about anything you want to celebrate. Simply use the many projects in this book to light your imagination, then cut out, paste, saw, and enjoy! 128 pages (all in color), 8 1/2 x 10.
