Gabby, that is great for pieces with large cut-outs, but how about fret work with tiny, lacy cut-outs. You wouldn't be able to see where to center the hole in the aid. Maybe if the scrap wood was cut in two, thru the drill hole. It could be lined up with the small place to be cut and the drill bit held against it. Haven't tried that tho.We all do different types of scrolling.Pat B
