March 18, 201214 yr comment_32297 This is my first attempt at fret work. It's from a free pattern from Steve Good at www.scrollsawworkshop.com This was a lot of fun but a little tedious. It's a Potpourri Box made from walnut & hard maple. The lid is attached with rare earth magnets. Thanks for viewing! Report

March 18, 201214 yr Author comment_32307 Thank you Larry! I think I've built more projects in the short period of time that I've owned my scroll saw than any tool I've owned for that time frame. It's absolutely addictive and I'm having a ball. Report

March 18, 201214 yr Author comment_32305 Thank you Charles & Russel. I am rather pleased with the combination. The magnets are held in place with 5 minute epoxy. I've never had them pop out. Report

March 19, 201214 yr comment_32301 Mike, this looks great all the way around. I made a box a couple years ago using the rare earth magnets like this one, they are great to use as a catch. GregScroll Saw forum hosthttp://www.thesawdustfactory.net/ Report
