Scroll saw work
While you're learning how to use a scroll saw, one of the most important things you'll need is a blade. The scroll saw blades can be very sharp and long-lasting. But, the right one can quickly wear out so it's important to replace them frequently. A workpiece drop foot is also necessary to prevent the blades from getting stuck or breaking. Luckily, scroll saws are relatively easy to sharpen, so it won't take long to get up to speed!
It's a good wood to practice with when you learn how to use a scrollsaw. However, you might want to steer clear of basswood if it's not something you feel comfortable with. It is difficult to maintain a pattern because the wood bends under a scroll saw blade. Also, the wood is too flaky for detailed work. Harder woods, such as oak, are more durable but also have a higher risk of burning and chipping.

How to make wood joint

This method is great if your wood's straight and smooth. You might consider dowel joinery if your wood isn’t straight or flat. These are the steps

Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Measure and mark the location where you would like to place the pocket hole joint. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.

Sand Smooth. The wood's edges can be sanded to prevent splitting.

Glue Together. Apply glue to both the ends of the wood. Allow the wood to rest for five minutes before clamping it together.

Clamp the Pieces Together. Once the glue has dried, clamp the pieces together so they are flush.

Trim Joinery. Trim any excess wood surrounding the joint once the glue has dried completely.
Allow enough space between pieces so you can turn them inside out.
