Second Pattern Today.
The Victorian basket is 7.5" in diameter and can be made as deep as you like by adding more basket rings. The pattern calls for the rings to be 1/4" thick but use thicker wood for a deeper basket.
The hot air balloon scene has four layers. It will be a fairly easy pattern to cut. A 24" X 24" pice if 1/4" thick plywood is more than you need to cut the pattern so it won't be too expensive to cut.
Over at the Bob's Home Woodshop YouTube channel, Bob always does a nice job explaining his scroll saw techniques. In this video, he cuts my Mother's Day pattern. It is about 13 minutes long.
YouTube is a good place to learn techniques but it can also be a bad place to learn questionable techniques. When you find a guy like Bob, who has been scrolling for years you can feel confident he is not getting off the tracks. That does not mean you must follow any of our videos as gospel. One technique will work well for one person and the next person will find that same technique challenging or too expensive. Attaching patterns to the wood is one example. I use spray adhesive but many scrollers hate spray adhesive. If you are new to scrolling then check out Bob's video on the nine techniques of getting the pattern onto the wood.
Like any craft/art you need to be exposed to many techniques and then pick and choose. Eventually, you will have your own personalized methods.
