Bob Calhoun is a scroller from Australia and a friend of mine. Earlier today I opened an email from him and I saw this incredible project he had just completed. I have seen Bob do so many wonderful projects that it's hard for him to surprise me anymore. This one surprised and impressed me.
Bob spent around 1000 hours on this project. Gives me a backache just thinking about it. The building is made of fiddleback cypress. The windows are blackwood. The doors are white poplar. The tower points are red gum and the framing around the bottom of each floor is white cypress.
Thanks Bob. You have once again blown me away with your skill.

Wow!
Fretwork Table Scroll Saw Pattern.
This table will make a nice flower stand or display any small items. The table stands 26 inches tall. The top is 14" X 14".
I tried to keep construction as simple as possible. Instead of using mortise and tenons to attach the legs to the top assembly I just capture the legs in place with side boards. Complete assembly instructions are included in the pattern. Make sure you read the instructions thoroughly before you begin cutting the parts. Some pattern parts are not printed full size. The full size pattern pieces are printed in sections and will need to be cut and taped together.
This project will use more tools than just your scroll saw. The legs were cut on the scroll saw. Of course the fret work was cut on the scroll saw. All other pieces were cut to size with a table saw. You will need to cut or sand 45 degree miters in the top assembly. If you don't have a table saw this project will be difficult to complete.
The legs of this table a pretty delicate. The project should not be placed in a high traffic area. I could have beefed them up with stretchers but I liked the delicate look.
The pattern is over 3 megs so if you have a slow connection be patient while it downloads.
Sneak Peek. Small fretwork table.
I tried to get this fretwork flower stand finished this morning so you could work on it Sunday but I ran out of time. I will complete the pattern and finish the build later this morning. I will post the finished project and pattern as soon as it is ready. Check the blog later this morning to download the pattern.
