Description
Book SynopsisFirst invented in Switzerland in 1796, music boxes have long been decorated using time-consuming hand-carving methods, but this new and revised edition of a popular scroll-saw woodworking manual offers designs that make the job much faster and more fun. Updated with 250 line drawings, the instructions include steps for cutting the base, frame, and turntable for a music box; a guide to assembling the pieces; tips on inserting the musical works; and shop-tested patterns for 100 intricate scroll-work turntable toppers with both Christmas and Victorian themes.
Trade ReviewIf I had to rate this book on a scale from 1 to 10 I would have to give it a full 10. This is the nicest pattern book I have...my first impression was WOW. This is a very impressive pattern book. I own about 35 pattern books and this one is among the best.
