I receive a lot of email from scrollers around the world. Once or twice a year I open the email and my jaw hits the ground. This was one of those times. The gentleman in the picture above is Martien Van Der Els from Someren in the Netherlands. He spent most of 2010 creating this beautiful Milan Cathedral cutting.
Martien was kind enough to send me a complete pictorial of several steps in the cutting and assembly. The pictures in this post are a few of the finished project.
Thank you Martien for allowing all of us to see this incredible piece.The Cathedral is currently on display in the Someren Library. The project has also received much attention in several newspapers in the Netherlands.
Here is a close up of some of the fine scroll work Martien cut.
If you think you would like to give this project a try yourself you can find the pattern for sale at this link. http://www.finescrollsaw.com

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
