  1. I'm brand new to this compound cutting aspect of scroll sawing but am totally fascinated with it!! I certainly don't understand how it works.  here is my idea for one but didn't know before hand if this would work.  does both images have to match as far as height and width?  and will it make a difference if the images are one way or the other(upside down) from the other side?(i hope i'm making sense).  thanks for any help, Ray

      Hi Ray,

      The way they are facing is only important if that's the way you want to see them. The way they are in the picture is fine. They should be the same height or you will have bits of wood where you really don't want them. Also, the images need to be the size of the wood you are going to use, so the tennis player would need to be the height and width of the face and the Tennis words would need to be the length and width of the side. So the wording would need to match the picture in size exactly. The starting point of the cross stroke on the T would need to line up with the bottom of the foot and the outer edges of the S will need to line up with the top of the head. The biggest problem you'll face with the text, however, is that it is not connected. The whole thing will fall apart . Try using a different font. Just remember, you are cutting a 3D piece out of timber. You will only get the black parts after you have cut, all of the white is wasted.

      I hope this helps.
