John B Posted March 6, 2022 Report Share Posted March 6, 2022 After reading Jaun's question about available magazines relating to scrolling, it made me think. I used to subscribe to "Scroll Saw, Woodworking and Crafts, but I found it became a bit same same. However that is not what this is about. I would deliberately not read the instructions attached to a pattern or project until I had thought through how I would make the item. Then when reading the article there would be "I never thought of that!" or "Nah, that's a much too complicated process to achieve that" etc. Just little mind games I would play. crupiea, WayneMahler, RabidAlien and 3 others 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McDonald Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 I "read" the instructions, but my eyes seem to skip the most important step the first time through. Not just sawing, but many other projects as well. John B, OCtoolguy and Gene Howe 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedido Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Instructions are for patterns? I thought that paper was to start the fire to burn the scraps. OCtoolguy, Gene Howe and John B 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
