tuner Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I am bored waiting to get a saw so I think about scrolling.. someone must have tried this before so they can tell me if I am wasting my time.. my wife is into that adult coloring book for relaxation, some of the pictures are nice, there also just lines on a paper - think pattern- can you change it into a pattern and cut it out. There's also the question of why would any sane person would want to 😦 Phantom Scroller, Scrolling Steve and Fab4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jollyred Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Glue it to a sheet of mdf and call it a jigsaw puzzle. Would need to color it and seal the color before gluing it to the backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayneMahler Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Seen a lot of coloring pages turned into scroll saw patterns. Worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Scroller Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 I don't think there's much out there that the pattern makers on here couldn't turn into a pattern as long as the quality of the picture is right very skilled in this family outfit.

I had cataracts so I had to have surgery then I had to get over the surgery so I think it was about three months that put me behind. I watched a lot of You Tube videos (Steve Good became my best friend). There is a lot of things you can do to pass your time, just be creative.

crupiea Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 I do it all the time, here is an example. I dont bridge the pieces like in a sillouhette, I save them and put them back in and glue it all to backing. AK Moose Nugget 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 in the recent scroll saw magazine, there's an article about just this subject. My opinion is if that's what blows yer skirt up, do it! That's how ya learn different cuts, what blades need to be used in different projects. Try to go into it open minded though. Study the lines in the picture. Where they go & how they'll end up. You're going to find its going to be more like cutting fretwork than the average project. jmo.

There's also the question of why would any sane person would want to I've done as you ask but you can't have a picture already on the reverse side .Problem is when you glue it to the wood the reverse comes thru and does not look good at all.
