Custom Wooden Music Boxes for the Scroll Saw

First invented in Switzerland in 1796, music boxes have long been decorated using time-consuming hand-carving methods, but this new and revised edition of a popular scroll-saw woodworking manual offers designs that make the job much faster and more fun. Updated with 250 line drawings, the instructions include steps for cutting the base, frame, and turntable for a music box; a guide to assembling the pieces; tips on inserting the musical works; and shop-tested patterns for 100 intricate scroll-work turntable toppers with both Christmas and Victorian themes.
