Thank you everyone for the help! Hans, I will see what I can do with your suggestions. I have set that project aside and am working on another till I can figure it out. Thank you!

Here is the pattern. I am trying to do. I know it is complicated for a new bee but I like the challenge. My dad passed away in September and he was amazing with wood! Now I'm wishing he had taken the time to teach me! It's comforting to me and I guess it makes me feel close to him when I'm in the garage doing what he loved to do. I only have a Drexel motosaw which is pin end. I know that is part of the problem. And the blades they sell for the Drexel aren't labeled with the numbers like other scrolls. Getting a better or more expensive tool is not an option for me at this time. With the other projects I've done that required that kind of detail I've used a regular rotary dremel with a tile grout bit but it tears up the wood and is very hard to control. I was just wondering if there was a tip or trick that I could use with what I have available to me. Thanks again for all your help!

Is there a way to post a picture from my phone? I don't see a attachment button...

I am very new to this and am just practicing with plywood for now. I am working on some very small inlays that aren't even big enough to fit any blade into. How do you cut those pieces?
