If you
want a challenging scroll saw project that tests your skills to the
limit here it is. The main difficulty of this design is that the
sides of the coffer are curved. For this reason thin wood must be
used for the side pieces and special care must be taken when
cutting, not to break the delicate resulting pieces. The mounting of
the original design was based in tabs and slots. I have completely
redesigned the project to use a more convenient system based on a
wooden frame on which the sides can be glued more easily and held in
place with clamps until they dry. Once the coffer is mounted
and varnished its interior can be covered as desired. The result is
a very original coffer of delicate and beautiful curves. The pattern
is based on an old Italian design from the beginning of the XX
century. It has been completely redrawn in the computer using the
most advanced graphics techniques.
The
patterns have been designed to use 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 inches wood or 6,
3 and 1,5 mm wood. By scaling the pattern appropriately other
combinations of wood thickness can also be used. These are the
measures of the coffer depending on the wood
thickness you use:

1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 in. wood |
3.8 in. |
