Makeshift scroll-saw star in 3D
Feb 4, 2024
Making this ornament would normally require use of a scrollsaw, but I don't have one. I really should get one, though. Really. It has been long enough.

you can probably blow one of these out
with a scroll saw with no problem but
not all of us have a scroll saw I made
this with a jigsaw if you can believe
that let me show you how I did it
you
this aluminum coil stock has a little
bit of spray adhesive on it and it will
help to reduce friction
if the depth is set correctly you can
just barely push it under without much
resistance
the only concern of the hardwood guide
block is to keep the blade from
wandering left or right you don't have
to worry about the blade getting pushed
back because the jig saw already has an
apparatus that limits that the most
important thing to remember is that the
lowest point of the downstroke can never
go underneath this wooden block or else
catastrophe will and zu once you become
accustomed to using the device you can
apply pressure by pressing down which
will hold the piece nice and tight so it
doesn't move this is definitely one of
the better features of this scroll saw
you
you
now I'm going to mark 5/16 from each
side
now it's just a matter of taking it to
the sander and connecting this point to
this point
this one still needs a little bit of
hand sanding but to really make it pop
you have to give it some mineral oil
like I did to this one well I hope you
enjoyed and thanks a lot for watching
