Here is another fascinating
scroll saw project that will test your skills to the limit. This is
a very large project,
wherever you place it,
it will become the center of attention. More than any other, this
project calls for creativity, it is very adequate to be finished
with some hues of baroque colors, and its interior can be covered
with rich and colorful fabric. I can imagine it on a sideboard or
console or on an office desk, serving as a place to keep together
all those things that we often have around the whole desk.
The main difficulty of
this design is that the sides of the gondola are slightly curved.
For this reason thin wood must be used for the side pieces and
special care must be taken when cutting, not to break the delicate
resulting pieces. The mounting of the original design was based in
tabs and slots. I have completely redesigned the project to use a
more convenient system based on a wooden frame on which the sides
can be glued more easily and held in place with clamps until they
dry.Once the gondola is mounted and finished its interior can be
covered as desired. The result is a very original piece of delicate
and beautiful curves.
The pattern is based on an
old Italian design from the beginning of the XX century. It has been
completely redrawn in the computer using the most advanced graphics
techniques.
The pattern is designed to make the gondola with 1/4, 1/8 and
1/16 inches wood
or
with 6, 3 and 1.5 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will.
This table gives the dimensions of the gondola depending on the wood
