Part Two

Last time I took you to understand some technical terms, this time I took you to understand the tools needed to make a garland.

There are several tools you'll need to complete the projects and create clean, durable, useful items. If you are a beginner scroller who is unfamiliar with any of the tools listed here, more detail about each one follows, including my personal recommendations for sizes and brands (where applicable). Each tool can be purchased at your local home improvement store.Not all these tools are essential for creating the projects (see the individual descriptions to learn which ones you can do without), but the nonessential tools will make your life easier, so if you have the money to invest, I recommend acquiring them all.

- Scroll saw
- Table saw,radial arm saw ,or sliding compound saw
- Bench sander
- Palm sander
- Electric hand drill or drill press
-Drill bits (3/64”[1.2mm] and 1/16"[1.6mm] or #56 [ 1.2mm ] and #52 [ 1.6mm ], and larger)
-Various blades: #3-#5 skip-tooth and/or reverse tooth (manufacturers of choice)brand that I recommend.
- Assorted needle files (optional'
