Basic
Instructions
The following pages have step-by-step photographs and instruc-
tions for you to make a simple country scroll saw basket. These
instructions are written specifically for this basket design. All other
baskets in this book are made using the exact same steps.
The basket patterns inc1uded in this book are only a beg in-
ning. Use your imagination to create hundreds of other designs of
our own: add layers to increase the height of yourbasket,use
thicker or thinner layers for different effects, enlafge or 'reduce the
pattern for a particular need, use different kinds of.wood to change
the look of your basket. In doing this, you will create a basket that
i truly your design. The combinations you can use are endless.

Finishing Your Basket ....

We recommend leaving the finished "basketswitl1.ho finish, at all
on them, just their natural wood. If, however, you wish to stain or
apply a satin finish coat of varnish to your basket, use any available
commercial stain or varnish produet that you would apply on any
other woodworking project. Apply per iristruetions on the contain-
er. For ease, try to use a spray top.coat; it willspeed up your work.'

Suggested Materials
As with all scroll saw projects, always use high quality, knot-free
-ood. Recommended woods for baskets are aspen, basswood or
poplar. They are hardwoods and cut easily on the scroll saw. Most
- ft woods are not recommended.because they have little ..."charac-
ter," To add trim or color variations-use rnahogany, cherry'[maple
orred oak. For example, you rnaychoose to use a maple wood for
rhe base, top rim and handle, then use a mahogany wood for the
evels of the basket.

ic Instruetions 1
 Scroll Saw Baskets

Step 1: Enlarge/Reduce Pattern

• Decide what size basket you wish to

make.
• Use a photocopier to enlarge ar
reduce the pattern to suit your needs or to
fit the size of wood that you plan to use.
Try to have the copy made in red. A red
line is easier to follow than a black line.
• Be sure to make enough copies to
complete all layers Cespecially if you do
not stack-cut), We recommend you make
an extra copy or two, just in case.

Note: If you'd like to make the same

basket the authors are making in this how-
to sequence, use the patterns on pages
13-16 far a large basket ar those on pages
18-19.

Step 2: Attaching Pattern to Wood

• Add one quarter of an inch to the

required size and cut the wood to the
overall size.
• Sand the top of the block lightly
befare applying the pattern.
• Glue the copy of the pattern to the
wood using either rubber cement or a
spray adhesive. Be sure to apply the glue
spray to the paper pattern, not the wood.
Allow the glue ar adhesive to get tacky
befare applying the pattern to the wood,
so that it ean be easily removed later.

Step 3: Setting the Saw Blade

• Before starting, check that the blade is

at a precise 90-degree angle to the table
top. This is very important.
• Use a #2 skip tooth or regular blade
for most baskets. (You may choose another
blade based on your own preferences.)
• If you make a very small basket, use a
~O/2 blade.

Step 4: Cut Base

• Attach the base pattern to the wood.

• Carefully cut out the base. Use a #2
blade and try to split the line as you cut.
• Round the bottom edge of the base
using a l/S inch or 3/16 inch round over bit
in a router. (This step is optional.)

Basic Instructions 3
 Scroll Saw Baskets

Step 5: Cut Level A

• Attach the Level A pattern to the

wood.
• Carefully cut out this piece. Use a #2
blade and try to split the line as you cut.
• Cut the outside first and then drill a
starter hole for the inside cut.
• Keep the center section intact to aid
you in sanding the bottom surface. (See
Step 9.)
• When removing the pattern from the
wood, be sure to transfer the alignment
dot to the wood surface. Use a pencil or
pen and keep it small.

Step 5 (Optional): Stack-Cutting Level A

• Cut all pieces of wood required for

Level A.
• Using a blank sheet of paper slightly
larger than the wood, spray one side with
adhesive. When the adhesive is tacky,
adhere the blank sheet to the wood, then
spray the top of the paper with more
adhesive. When that adhesive is tacky,
apply the second layer of wood. Repeat
these steps for the remaining layers, until
all required pieces are in a neat stack. (Try
not to go over 11/2 inches in height.)
• When complete, attach the Level A
pattern to the top piece of wood.
• Carefully cut out the pieces. Use a #2
blade and try to split the line.
• When removing the pattern from the
wood be sure to transfer the alignment dot
to the wood surface. Use a pencil or pen
and keep it small.

Step 6: Cut Level B (Single Level)

• Attach the level B pattern to the wood.

• Carefully cut out the piece. Use a #2
blade and try to split the line.
• Cut the outside first and drill a starter
hole for the inside cut. Keep the center
section intact to aid in sanding the bottom
surface. (See Step 9,)
• When removing the pattern from the
wood be sure to transfer the alignment dot
to the wood surface. Use a pencil or pen
and keep it small.

Step 6 (Optional): Stack-Cutting Level B

• Cut all pie ces of wood required for

Level B.
• Using a blank sheet of paper slightly
larger than the wood, spray one side with
adhesive. When the adhesive is tacky,
adhere the blank paper to the wood, then
spray the top of the paper with more
adhesive. When that adhesive is tacky,
apply the second layer of wood. Repeat
these steps for the remaining layers, until
all required pieces are in a neat stack. (Try
not to go over 11/2 inches in height.)
• When complete, attach the Level B
pattern to the top piece of wood.
• Carefully cut out the pieees. Use a #2
blade and try to split the line.
• When removing the pattern from the
wood be sure to transfer the alignment dot
to the wood surface. Use a pencil or pen
and keep it small.

Step 7: Cut Top Rim

• Attach the pattern to the wood.

• Remove the handle portion from the
center of the pattern.
• Carefully cut out the piece. Use a #2
or #5 blade and try to split the line.
• If the top rim has a notch for the han-
dle, be sure the notch is the same uiidtb as
the handle thickness. This is a very impor-
tant part of this step.

Step 8: Cut Handle, Fit to Rim

• Using the handle portion that was

removed from the rim pattern center sec-
tion, carefully cut out the piece. Use a #2
blade for small interior cuts and an
optional #5 blade for the handle portion.
Try to split the pattern line as you make
the cuts.

6 Basic lfiStructiOns
Scroll Saw Baskets

Step 9: Sand the Front/Back Surfaces

• Take a piece of #150 grit sandpaper

and put it on a flat surface.
• Reinsert the center portion to support
the layer while you are sanding.
• Lightly sand each piece of the basket
to remove any burrs.

Step 10: Glue Level A to Base

• Remove the pattern and transfer the

alignment dot. Note: If a problem occurs in
removing the pattern, use a hairdryer and
heat the surface. The pattern will then lift
easily from the wood.
• Carefully put a small dab of white glue
at each "stay," about 2 or 3 inches apart,
keeping the alignment dot in an "up"
position.
• Center the piece on the base.
• Wipe off any excess glue.
• Let the basket sit for 5-10 minutes
under a weight to keep it flat.

Basi~ Instructions 7
 Scroll Saw Baskets

Step 11: Glue Level B to Level A

• Continue gluing the pieees together.

Put a small dab of white glue every 2-3
inehes apart at each stay on Level B.
• Add the next level, lining up the align-
ment dots.
• Wipe off any excess glue.
• Let the basket sit for 5-10 minutes
under a weight.
• Repeat these steps, alternating the lay-
ers until all the layers are stacked.

Step 12: Add the Top Rim and Handle

• Glue the handle to the rim in the

groove provided. Keep the handle at a 90-
degree angle to the rim.
• Glue the top rim and handle assembly,
eentered, to the top level of the basket.
• Clamp or weight the pieces until the
glue is dry. Remove any exeess glue.
• Lightly sand the entire basket.
• Finish the basket to suit. (You ean
leave your basket unfinished, stain it or
paint it.)

Various greens
and browns
highlighted with
Antique Gold

Burnt Umber
sponge-painted
with Molasses

You do not need a great deal of painting experience to create a beautifullid for any of your baskets. Here
are a few simple instructions to get you going.
Sand the wood until it is smooth. Then run a tack rag over the lid to make sure all the wood dust has been
removed from the surface. Varnish the lid with a water-based sealer. When the sealer is thoroughly dry, sand
and tack the surface again. You are now ready to base coat the lid.
Paint the lid top and bottom with Burnt Umber, then sponge paint with Molasses. When completely dry,
paint a Ll/z" Ivory band on top of the lid. This band will create the contrast needed to show off the bittersweet.
Then have fun! Bittersweet is abundant here in the Northeast and is an easy, attractive decoration. Use your
imagination with this pattern. A variety of colors may be used to achieve Iife-like berries. For this lid, I have
chosen to base coat the bittersweet with Cinnamon. The shading is accomplished with olasses and then
Burnt Umber. The highlight is Antique Gold; the highlight dot is Cinnamon. Add twigs with the browns you
have already used for the rest of the lid. When the paint is dry, varnish the lid and you are done.
