wooden boxes August 23, 2008
I found this book excellent. With my skills the products came to life from the pages. I make these products for sale for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and all profits go to them. I am eagerly awaiting my other two books. Denis Dack.
Nice plans and clear directions. March 30, 2008
I used this book to create my first few projects and if I can do it I'm sure others can. The directions are straight forward and the plans are nice. It is really quite simple.
Only down side is this book doesn't explain too much about the information beginners may need to start right away. I had to use some internet sources and another book to 'learn' how to use the scroll saw and what some of the language meant. With the beginning info under my belt, however, I photo copied the plans and went to work and the boxes I made were very nice....at least thats what the gift receivers said. ;)
I've included a picture of a box I made from the plans found in this book. You can locate it under the 'customer picture' section under the book cover picture.

I found this to be a good beginning on my initial projects, to over come the learning curve of the saw.
Great book and lots of fun. December 5, 2006

I bought this book and also Gary Mackays' book, Box-Making Projects for the Scroll Saw at the same time. Even though there are some cool projects in his book that I will build, Diana Thompsons book is much more artistic. You can really see the difference between a mans point of view and a womans. I like Dianas projects much more. One point to mention though, Her box projects are all lift off top boxes. I would recommend this book.
Lots of Fun Projects Here! December 14, 2004

This is typical Diana Thompson, with a twist. Yes, there is compound cutting - but she also takes us through simple but elegant box making, inlay, and relief cutting. These boxes come out really great, and the patterns and instructions are clear and complete. If there is one complaint, it is that Diana must have access to a really good lumber supplier, because many of her wood choices are not available at all at ordinary wood providers. The designs come out well with just Home Depot-type woods, though, so it shouldn't discourage anyone. I love this book.
