This is a pattern for a sumptuous
glass cabinet in Louis XVI style. It has been entirely reconstructed in the
computer after a very old Hobbies pattern published in England around 100 years
ago. The original pattern was quite obscure and difficult to read, with all the
pieces packed in two A2 sheets, with many overlapping pieces and lots of
confussing indications. It is now presented like any other scroll saw pattern in
this site, clear and strightforward to follow, to be built with tabs and slots. However its proportions and the
difficulties involved in its construction go beyond the ones in a standard
scroll saw project.
This project will test the skills of any
scroller to the limit and will be a challenge even for the most experienced
ones. The pattern is printed in A1 sheets, with very large pieces that can't be
cut with a standard 18 inches scroll saw. You will need a much larger scroll saw
or you will have to split some pieces in several to cut them separately and then
put them together. Doing this is difficult and recommended only to very
experienced crafters. The model may require reinforcements depending on how
heavy is the wood you use. If properly completed and finished the model will be
a valuable piece of furniture.
The pattern is printed to make the glass cabinet with 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 and 1/16 inches wood or
with 12, 6, 3 and 1.5 mm wood, but of course it can be resized at will. This
table gives the dimensions of the glass cabinet depending on the wood thickness you use,
including the suggested legs of 25 cm (10 inches):
