Easy, but elegant custom boxes:
This book arrived promptly. The instructions were detailed, illustrated by photos, and easy to follow. I have made one box and was very pleased with the product. One is only limited by one's own creativity with this set of instructions. By the way, I have only been scrolling for a year, so these projects are an easy do for the less experienced scroller.
wooden boxes:
I found this book excellent. With my skills the products came to life from the pages. I make these products for sale for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and all profits go to them. I am eagerly awaiting my other two books. Denis Dack.
Nice plans and clear directions.:
I used this book to create my first few projects and if I can do it I'm sure others can. The directions are straight forward and the plans are nice. It is really quite simple. Only down side is this book doesn't explain too much about the information beginners may need to start right away. I had to use some internet sources and another book to 'learn' how to use the scroll saw and what some of the language meant. With the beginning info under my belt, however, I photo copied the plans and went to work... more info
Learning Curve:
I found this to be a good beginning on my initial projects, to over come the learning curve of the saw.
