Project Information

Jeff Zafino's Mabry Mill pattern. This one took a while… But well worth the results. One of my favorite places to see along the Blue Ridge Parkway. As you can see from the picture of the real thing, Jeff's pattern was really spot on.

I guess there have been some problems with Jeff's site… these plans were purchased a year or so ago… project finished quite some time ago as well. Just now getting around to uploading some things…

Nice job, so many inside cuts.Must have taken a while. I've just bought a scrollsaw and look forward to being this skilled at cutting. What type blades did you use on this project?

I am a huge fan of the Flying Dutchman spiral blades. I have a Dewalt scroll saw, so I use the flat end blades. I find that I have a greater amount of control with these blades when doing fretwork, and am able to make a much more accurate cut with them (I've actually cut mortice and tenons with them with excellent results).

On this one, it was probably the #3 blade if I recall correctly.

Congrats on your new saw, and it won't be long until you can do this. It mostly just takes patience and time. Monkeys could do this if they could follow a pattern.

Check out http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com, Steve Good's site for simple plans to get you started on the scroll saw. He has a lot of neat projects out there that are fun to make and usually can be done in a few hours.

Ah yea, you did a great job on that one. I love scrolling as well. Flying Dutchman blades are the best I have found.
