Scroll Saw Shelf Free Project Plan

These small shelves come in many shapes and sizes. Many were made in the 30's so that they are now finding their way into antique shops.

Scroll Saw Shelf Instructions

Step 1
Carefully make a full-size pattern.

Step 2
A trick I like to do in making fretwork projects is to finish the surfaces before cutting out the shape. Cut the wood to overall sizes and sand. Add a stain and two or three top-coats of varnish or shellac, sanding between coats. Note: Finish both sides.

Step 3
Glue the paper pattern to the wood, using a thin coat of rubber cement or a spray-mount adhesive. To get a smooth back surface, lightly glue a plain piece of paper to the back, also.

Step 4
Locate and drill the eight Vs-inch-diameter holes. Cut out the pattern.

Step 5
Peel the paper pattern and back sheet from the wood and lightly sand.
