  If you are a scroller, you know how frustrating having your workpiece move while cutting can be. Especially when it comes to scrolling compound cuts, the clamp you use can make all the difference in the world when it comes to the accuracy and precision of your cuts. After trying various clamps, I discovered that the spring clamp is the best clamp for scroll sawing compound cuts. Not just any spring clamp, but one with a strong spring that can take up the slack as you cut. The larger spring clamps worked best as they stayed in place and aligned the parts.

The glue joint is usually strong enough not to move after 30 minutes. After gluing on the second leg, I wait long enough for the glue to set and add the third leg. Gluing proceeds until all of the legs are glued on. After the glue has cured on all the legs, I check the legs for square on a flat surface like a castiron table and correct if needed by sanding the bottom of the feet. This one came out perfect. No adjustments were required. #odinstoyfactory #handmade #woodtoys #madeinusa #madeinamerica #dinosaur
