When you've been away from the scroll saw for any length of time, your skills get a bit rusty. Cut a few lines on these practice patterns to get the feel of your scroll saw again before beginning a new project. It'll only take a couple minutes to sharpen those skills, and your project won't suffer by being out of practice. These patterns cover a wide variety of cuts; sweeping curves, tight radius, long straight lines, jagged edges, sharp corners, etc. I even threw in a few shapes to keep things interesting. Download the FREE scroll saw practice pattern below. Print several copies of pages 2 & 3. Spray mount them to 1/4" plywood. Drill pilot holes at the beginning of each line as well as starting point for your shapes. Follow the lines as close as possible. For shapes, try cutting the inside or on the outside for variation of different skills. Cut a few lines before starting your next project. If you're a new scroller, these practice patterns are a great way to build your skills and confidence. A few tips: Cut a bunch of these practice patterns and keep a stack of them by your saw. Pull one out before you start your next project. Don't throw away the shapes. Toss them in a box. When the Holidays roll around, they make great gift tags and ornaments for those last minute gift ideas. Don't get too frustrated if you're not following the line well. Correct your course as best as you can. When you're feeling a bit more confident, move on to your bigger project. TCF0003_Practice.pdf- 19 comments
