Follow our step-by-step formula for success.
Hey turners, are you looking for something neat to do with
all those wood scraps too beautiful to toss, yet seemingly
too small to serve any purpose? Faced with the same dilemma,
I blew the dust off of my miniature turning tools and got
busy. Not only was I able to shape a small-scale,
Southwest-style hollow turning, but I was able to do it in
less than 15 minutes—start to finish. Now, after turning 100
or more of these little beauties, I thought I’d share my
proven process with you. We even include information on
making your own low-cost, bent-nosed scrapers.

When we decided to pull together our best collection of
scrollsawing tips, we made a beeline to Rick Hutcheson's
shop in Grimes, Iowa. We figured anyone who spends thousands
of hours every year cutting scrollsaw designs has to know a
lot about the craft.
