just a question

ok I don't know where or when I got this pattern, but as I said until recently I hadn't got into the  woodshop for almost 2 years....and my memory isn't the greatest. now I THINK I know how to cut this but just to be on the safe side and so as not to waist any wood,  when I put this on the wood I cut out the lines right ?  and the parts that have the x marked are places where I cut all the wood away. no rush with this because even though I have the small blades now I still have to get some really small drill bits...thanks !!

I don't saw anymore, but "Yes" you would cut out the "X" pieces.  However, only the small cutouts are marked.  On some, you would also remove larger, adjoining pieces.

Yes, I would remove the pieces with an X, however you have to be careful cutting the other lines as if they are cut right through to the intersections (as drawn) pieces will drop out.

You got notified that I "reacted" to your question. Not that I answered it. From what I could see, it seems that your "x'ed" areas are meant to be removed. But I'd have to really study the rest of it to know what/where to cut. I don't do that fretwork so someone more knowledgeable than me will give you better advice.

well that clears things up octoolguy… I do believe have mentioned I am not the sharpest tool in the box!!!  lol add to that insomnia and trying to do several things at a time....well some people call me a digbat!! lol which is ok by me as im having a ball and enjoying myself now that I can. lol like I said it drives spike poor man that he is right up the wall!!  lol when I asked him if we might be able to get the sandblaster up and working this year he said I THOUGHT you were doing woodwork?  lol and I havnt told him im going to h ave to bring the sewing machine out soon to sew together the patterns I have cut out and pined together lol  and thanks everybody for the information.... im pretty sure how to cut it now after I get done with the stuff im doing right now….like I said I don't know where the pattern came from....it could be just a picture I took  out of a book for all I remember.... and yes I get a lot of my patterns that way...hey when you cant draw you have to adapt and find pictures you can use as patterns.
