Practice pattern

[Ablade]

A group of us scrollers are going to work with some special ed students next month and I need a practice pattern.  I have one with a straight line, several curve lines, several 90 degree corners, etc.  But I have seen one, somewhere, that has a straight line for about the length and then gradually goes into some slight curves.  I really like this approach to teaching someone new.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hey Norm, You will find what your are looking for in the book Scroll Saw Workbook By John A. Nelson. This book is available from Fox Chapel Publishing. http://www.foxchapelpublishing.com/search.aspx?SearchTerm=Scroll+Saw+Workbook&x=13&y=12

Dgman you are right on, that is a great book, I have it and learned a lot from it. And it has all of the little practice cuts, plus some patterns.

Yeah, I use the practice pattern page to teach new students who have never used a scroll saw before. It's good to teach about cutting a strait line and blade drift.

I have also used that practice page to teach.

That is THE book!

If not for that book I would not be scrolling today!

My only wish is that it came with a binding that would lay flat on a copier glass!

Thanks folks.  I knew someone out there would know the book.  I will go to Woodcraft tomorrow and get it.
