Initial Family Name Construction Set Scroll Saw Pattern and Video Tutorial.


SAMPLE
ADD YOUR OWN FAMILY NAME

Download Below

Initials cutouts have been popular for some time. You can cut them from 1/4" Baltic birch plywood for a strong and inexpensive project.

This pattern book contains all 26 letters. They are full-page and ready to add a family name. In the video below I will show you how to add the name and make the pattern ready for print. The video uses Inkscape. Inkscape is a free program, available to Windows and Mac. 

The letters are around eight inches tall. You may want to print them larger or take them to a print shop and have them enlarge them for you. If you have them print them on 11" X 17" paper you will have a large door hanging initial.

You can download Inkscape at this link. www.inkscape.org

Don't be intimidated by this process. The video tutorial is only a little over three minutes. There are very few steps involved. If you ever wanted to edit my patterns this is a good place to start.
