This pattern will challenge your ability to cut small projects. It's still not overly challenging but you will need 2/0 scroll saw blades and a micro drill bit for the interior entry holes. I used a 1mm drill bit.
There are some patterns that require micro drill bits. I love using the Seyco Scrollers Drill with these small bits. It's not cheap but it work great.
If you want to get started with these bits you can order a set of bits and an adapter chuck. The adapter chuck will fit into your drill press and allow you to use these small bits. It's not a great idea to try these in a hand drill. It's very difficult to keep the hand drill straight and not break the bit.
