If you are into carving and making figures or parts out of wood, plastic or similar material, you cannot do without a tool whose name is reminiscent of the distant Soviet past: this is a jigsaw.

Jigsaw jigsaw strife, now on sale are both "pioneer" elementary manual models, and electric modern instruments, only remotely resembling the usual files.

You can also make a jigsaw yourself: in the technical literature and the network, many diagrams and drawings of electric jigsaws are offered.

It is not difficult to make such a device, and you will get significant benefits from it. You will be able to independently engage in the production of furniture you need and realize the most daring creative ideas for the interior.

An example of the manufacture of a jigsaw machine.

Homemade jigsaw for you to professionally make smooth details of the most bizarre shapes. First you need to decide on the most suitable design for you.

Technical description and components

The schematic diagram of any jigsaw machine is the same for different models.

It must include the following parts:

• file;
• drive with a power of about 150 W;
• rocker for tensioning the file;
• working surface with graduation;
• drilling block, etc.

Consumables are fixed on the working surface. In advanced models, there are special devices for rotary movements of the part, in which the working surface can change the angle of inclination.

The dimensions of the surface will depend on your production and creative plans: the larger the parts you are going to cut, the larger your production table should be. Traditional sizes are usually around 30 - 40 cm.

The types of saw blades are varied. They depend primarily on consumable. The dimensions of the parts for cutting are also important. Conventional saw blades for working with wood have a length of about 35 - 40 cm. They are able to saw parts made of wood or plastic with a thickness of no more than 100 mm.

FROM different types materials, the files also change, this mainly concerns their width: from 2 to 10 mm. Files can vary in the type of their tails - with or without pins. They are fixed in a special device for their tension and even sawing. To do this, they have spring-type springs.

Another important one: the crank assembly. Its function can hardly be overestimated: it is he who transmits the movement from the drive to the file, turning rotary motion into progressive.

Assembly drawing of a jigsaw machine.

Due to this, the file begins to oscillate with high frequency, the speed of such oscillations is on average about 800 - 1000 rpm. It is important to remember about the amplitude of vertical vibrations, it should not exceed 50 mm.

In advanced modern jigsaw models, the speed varies depending on the type of consumable. Most desktop models operate in two speed modes. Most often it is 600 and 1000 rpm.

Model range of jigsaw machines

Most often, in its electric drive power, the range of values ​​​​is huge: from 90 to 500 watts.

Also, these devices are divided into varieties based on their fundamental design:

• universal;
• on suspension;
• with graduation;
• with a caliper in the lower position;
• with double support.

Jigsaws with bottom support

Scheme of machine design elements.

The most used and popular models are machines with a lower support. Their feature is the division of the working frame into the upper and lower parts.

While the upper section contains only one sawing and cleaning device, the lower section contains many working elements: an electric motor, a switch, a transmission unit and a control unit. This design makes it possible to cut sheets of materials of almost any size.

Machines with double support

A home-made jigsaw with a double caliper differs from the lower caliper by the presence in the upper section of a special additional bar and desktop with the ability to change the angle of inclination and overall height.

These models are designed to work with oversized parts. Such a machine is easier to make than the previous model. There are limitations in the materials with which you can work on it: their thickness should not exceed 80 mm.

Hanging machines

The name speaks for itself: the model is mobile, it works without a frame. The fundamental point in this design is the movement of the cutting file, and not the consumable. The module itself is attached to the ceiling, the saw is set in motion manually.

All this gives serious advantages: in this way you can create the most complex patterns, the surface dimensions are not limited by anything.

Graduated devices

The presence of stops and a degree scale make it possible to work according to technical drawings, without the slightest error.

Universal machines

Such devices are usually called electric jigsaw. Their feature is the ability to perform several operations such as grinding, polishing, sawing, etc.

How to make a jigsaw machine with your own hands?

We will not stop at the manufacture of the simplest machines: you can easily find such manuals with video support on the net. Let's talk about homemade machines from an electric jigsaw.

Assembling the machine with your own hands.

Here is the sequence of work for their manufacture:

• We make a bed from plywood sheet or plastic.
  The main thing is that the thickness should not be less than 12 mm. The function of the bed is a foundation, a working surface and a place for fixing mechanisms and an electric motor.
• We place a special rocking chair with an eccentric on the opposite side.
  We connect them using a metal bar with bearings. All fasteners in the design are screw.
• We make installation of an intermediate shaft.
  To do this, you need to prepare two bearings, put the pulley on the shaft as tightly as possible, then carefully fasten it with screws. Similar actions are performed with an eccentric.
• At the rocking chair, the amplitude of movements should change.
  To do this, you need to change the place of attachment of the screw, for which we drill exactly four threaded holes on the eccentric flange. The holes should be located at different distances from the axis. With a change in the place of attachment of the screw, the swing of the amplitude of the rocking chair will change.
• We make a rocking chair: this is nothing more than wooden rocker arms, into whose rear ends the screws that you built in the previous paragraph are inserted, these are tension screws.
  The rocker arms themselves are hinged to the rack. We fix the file on the front ends of the rocker arms. Previous and given stages must be done with great care and diligence. The fact is that fastening the file is a fundamentally important thing. Rocker arms with plates are subjected to constant loads during movement due to their rigid screed with screws.
• For a rocking chair you need a stand.
  It will be better if it is made from a whole piece of material. We make a groove for the first rocker arm on the top of the rack. From the lower end we have a special rectangular opening for the second rocker arm.

Your . We wish you cool ideas and their high-quality implementation.

The jigsaw has long ceased to be a rarity and is present in the tool kit of almost any home master. It is convenient, able to cut various materials, relatively safe. The electric jigsaw is designed for cutting curvilinear figures, closed or with a complex configuration. It is indispensable when performing many works on home improvement, in the construction of plasterboard structures, boxes, and other works.

However, in some cases work hand tool it becomes difficult or inconvenient: poor visibility of the cut line interferes, it becomes necessary to hold the workpiece with both hands, etc. But the main problem with a manual jigsaw is that the saw blade moves to the side, which is especially evident when cutting materials of great thickness and with small radii of curvature. In such cases, you need a jigsaw machine, which you can create with your own hands.

The purpose of the machine and the principle of operation

Picture 1 - Jigsaw machine

The jigsaw machine is designed to perform a curved or straight cut of sheet materials along a predetermined contour or along guides.

Unlike a hand tool, where the file is fixed only at one end and holds its shape solely due to its own elasticity, on jigsaw machines the file is attached at both ends.

Such a machine can become a woodworking, desktop, saw, 4 in 1, made from a circular, drill and cutter, etc.

The main structural elements are:

• frame with a stretched saw;
• crank mechanism, providing reciprocating motion of the frame;
• work table and bed.

The electric jigsaw successfully replaces the crank mechanism, setting in motion the frame with the file. There are simpler designs, where the jigsaw is simply attached upside down to the desktop from below, and the file either holds its position during operation due to its own elasticity, or is fixed on top with guides or a spring-loaded bracket that moves with it during operation. This allows you to reduce power losses when transmitting movement to the frame, but requires the use of elongated files, which are not often found on sale.

Advantage

The main advantage of a jigsaw machine is the ability to perform an accurate cut, the absence of saw blade withdrawal to the side. In addition, the advantages of jigsaw machines over hand tools are:

• more effective visual control over the direction and accuracy of the cut;
• the possibility of using guides;
• there is the ability to install special templates that allow you to get many identical blanks;
• a narrower file is used, which allows to reduce the radius of curvature and cut parts of a more complex shape.

Together with these advantages, one more thing appears - the need to organize a workplace for sawing disappears, since the machine has an appropriate plane for this.

Important! Along with the advantages, there are also obvious disadvantages - cutting out internal parts is much more difficult or impossible, only trimming along the outer contour.

Basic design - drawings

There are ready-made platforms that allow you to quickly convert a hand tool into a machine tool. However, they are designed for jigsaws from a specific manufacturer and are not suitable for any device. In addition, the price of such platforms often far exceeds the cost of the instrument itself. Therefore, it is much easier to make a machine yourself.

Figure 2 - The design of the jigsaw machine

The basis is the desktop.

It has been experimentally established that tables made of sheet metal- they are durable, ensure the accuracy of installation, do not require frequent replacement and do not reduce the working length of the file.

The jigsaw is attached to the table through the holes in the support plane, if necessary, it can be easily detached and used in the usual way.

The desktop is installed on the frame. It can be made of wood, chipboard or other materials. The main requirement is strength, easy access to the jigsaw and a size (height) convenient for the master.

At the end of the table, a rocker is installed, on which the second end of the file with a tensioner is attached. The simplest option is a conventional spring, which tensions the file and prevents it from drifting to the side with sudden changes in the cutting direction. The manufacture of this assembly is one of the most difficult stages of work, since the quality and cleanliness of sawing, as well as the magnitude of the load on the jigsaw mechanism and electric motor, depend on it.

There are two options for the design of the tensioner:

1. Rigid rocker and a spring block at its end with a movable saw attachment.
2. Movable rocker with a spring at the opposite end and a rigid saw blade attachment.

Both options have their pros and cons, the choice is usually made in favor of the option that is the simplest and most accessible in terms of technical capabilities.

How to make a machine from a manual jigsaw?

Consider the procedure for the manufacture of a jigsaw machine. The design is a desktop with a jigsaw fixed from below. The rocker consists of a rigidly reinforced rack with a movable spring-loaded lever. This option is considered affordable and reliable, devoid of unnecessary components and parts.

For simplicity and clarity, it is recommended to sketch working drawings that will clarify some design features and answer questions about dimensions, connection points and other details of the assembly process.

The creation of the machine can be divided into three stages, which should be considered separately:

Preparatory stage

Before starting the direct manufacture of the machine, it is necessary to make some preparation. First of all, you should make a special adapter for installing the file. In most jigsaws, the landing end of the file is inserted into the socket and clamped with a screw.

The cutting body of the machine is a thinner and longer file with holes at the ends, which are put on special pins (or through which the fixing screws pass). Therefore, it is necessary to make an adapter, the lower part of which copies the shank of a standard saw blade for this jigsaw, and the upper part is equipped with a hole for a screw with a nut, with which the adapter is connected to a machine saw.

Here, the procedure is not limited by anything - some grind a part of the desired shape from a metal plate, others take a piece of a finished file with a shank and weld a steel washer to it, followed by processing for accuracy.

In addition, you need to prepare necessary tools and materials, including:

Figure 3 - Drawing of a jigsaw machine

• Bulgarian;
• electric drill with a set of drills;
• screwdriver;
• welding inverter with electrodes;
• pieces of chipboard or plywood for desktop and bed;
• connecting corners;
• fasteners(self-tapping screws or bolts with nuts).

This list is not exhaustive and additional tools or materials may be needed.

Create blanks

The first step is to make a desktop. A piece of plywood or chipboard of the planned size is sawn off. There are no special restrictions here, but you will have to take into account the size of the room in which the machine will be located. Too much small table will be inconvenient for working with large details, and the extra table space will take up a lot of space in the room (or workshop).

As a rule, when choosing the size of the table, they are guided by the size of the parts that will be processed on the machine. On the table, holes are made for attaching a jigsaw and a file. To do this, unscrew the sole from the tool, apply it to the table and mark the centers of the holes for the connecting bolts.

Important! The connecting bolts that fix the jigsaw on the work surface must be with a countersunk head so that they do not protrude from the plane of the table and do not scratch the workpiece during operation.

Figure 5 - Jigsaw rocker

The second step will be the manufacture of the rocker arm. It needs two elements:

• rack;
• movable lever.

Take for a rack profile pipe rectangular section and welded in the lower part of the support platform.

Its size should ensure the immobility, stability and reliability of the rack during operation under load.

The height should correspond to the length of the file in the maximum raised state, plus a small margin for the size of the attachment point.

The best option - in the middle position of the file, the movable lever is in a horizontal position.

The movable element is a beam mounted on a rack by means of a swivel joint. The length of the front part ensures that the attachment point of the file is located exactly above the corresponding element of the jigsaw. The back of the lever is connected to a spring that provides tension.

Then you need to make a tension unit. It is a conventional spring, which is tensioned with an adjusting screw. It is attached to one end of the spring, threaded into a special loop on the frame and pulled with a nut and washer.

Attention! From vibration, the tension nut is able to unwind, weakening the tension. It is recommended to fix it with a lock nut.

Assembly

The assembly process is not difficult. You need to do the following:

1. Connect the desktop and bed.
2. Install jigsaw.
3. Fasten the rack with bolts.
4. Install lever.
5. Attach tension spring and fasten on both sides.

If the calculations were done correctly, the file will move exactly vertically without yawing to the sides. It is recommended that before starting the jigsaw, check its progress and make sure that there are no unforeseen situations not expected.

When working with a jigsaw machine, you should adhere to the following rules:

• do not bring your hands to the moving file;
• do not try to stop the file or lever with your hands;
• change the cutting body only when the jigsaw is stopped;
• not apply great effort when feeding the workpiece to the cutting body;
• do not work with workpieces that are too thick.

In addition, you should remember the fire safety rules and always unplug the tool from the socket at the end of work.

Self-manufacturing a jigsaw machine is not of fundamental difficulty, however, not every master has a need for it. As a rule, such devices are used by people who perform a large amount of work and need to create optimal conditions for this. Everyone chooses the design features of the machine for their own reasons and preferences, there are many options available. The quality and safety of the product directly depends on the degree of care and accuracy of assembly.

The desktop jigsaw is designed for cutting various parts with a complex configuration from sheet materials. This tool is able to work with MDF, chipboard, fiberboard and many others. Also, jigsaws can cut out the internal contours of parts, if you first make a small hole. This tool has a wide range of applications, since it is able to provide high productivity, which cannot be achieved with a conventional hacksaw.

Design features

The device diagrams of all jigsaw machines are usually the same. Having carefully examined the drawings, which depict this tool, you can see its following structural units:

• bed, which is also often called the body. It is designed to accommodate all structural elements of the unit;
• drive mechanism;
• crank mechanism. It is necessary to convert the rotational energy of the motor shaft into the movement of the file used during operation;
• double rocker. Equipped with fasteners for sawing and tensioning device;
• Desktop. In some modern models, it has a turning mechanism that moves to a given angle.

How to make a machine from a jigsaw?

For the manufacture of a jigsaw machine from manual jigsaw you need to follow this instruction:

1. First you need to make a table where a home-made jigsaw will be installed in the future. To do this, use any durable sheet material - thick plywood, metal and others.
2. Through holes are made in the table for the cutting blade and various fasteners.
3. The resulting jigsaw table is installed and securely fixed on a suitable wooden table.
4. The resulting table is equipped with guide rails.
5. A manual jigsaw is fixed at the bottom, which allows you to replace the drive mechanism of the machine and many of its other structural elements.

Everyone can make such a jigsaw machine with their own hands. Its advantage lies in the fact that at any time this unit can be quickly disassembled and only hand tools can be used.

Homemade jigsaw table-machine from a manual jigsaw

How to make a more professional tool?

A homemade jigsaw can have all the qualities that are present in professional equipment. To make it, you need to follow these instructions:

1. The bed is made from any durable material - 12 mm plywood, plastic, textolite and others. It should consist of a base, a body to accommodate all structural units and a desktop.
2. On the other hand, a rocking chair with an eccentric is placed. They need to be interconnected using metal plates with sleeve-type bearings. The resulting structure is installed with screws.
3. The intermediate shaft is formed from several bearings.
4. The metal pulley is very tightly put on the shaft and the screw connection is fixed.
5. To change the movement characteristics of the rocking chair, 4 round threaded holes are made on the eccentric flange. They should be placed from the center line at different distances. The amplitude of the movement of the rocking chair is regulated by the location of the screws.
6. The rocking chair is formed from wooden yokes, which are attached to the rack on a swivel joint.
7. Small cuts are made at the rear ends of the rockers. They are designed to install voltage screws.
8. The front ends of the rocker arm are designed to install the file. It moves with the help of special metal hinges. Before fixing the file, it is installed in a groove placed on the desktop.
9. The rocking chair is made from a single piece of durable material. At its upper end, a groove is made for installing the rocker arm, and near the lower end, a small rectangular hole is cut out for mounting the second rocker arm.

How to make a machine from a sewing machine?

From sewing machine it turns out an excellent jigsaw machine, which is equipped with a saw blade movement regulator. It is not difficult to make it if you follow these instructions:

1. From the bottom of the machine, the thread weaving mechanism is dismantled. In some models, it may be located elsewhere.
2. To dismantle this assembly, it is necessary to remove a few bolts, and then remove the cotter pin and drive shaft.
3. The top protective panel is unscrewed. After that, the groove along which the sewing needle moves must be expanded to fit the file parameters.
4. The cutting element itself is also slightly modified. It is cut according to the length of the sewing needle.
5. It is not necessary to make an adapter for installing the cutting element. Instead, you can grind off the upper incisors a little and process the lower area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe blade.
6. The nail file is inserted into the needle holder and work begins.

All the presented options for the manufacture of jigsaw machines are very successful. The resulting units are highly productive, and it is not difficult to make them. Depending on their skills, each master will be able to choose best model homemade equipment.

Video: Sewing machine jigsaw

I didn’t want to put my expensive Makitovsky jigsaw on the table all the time, so I decided to buy another one to create a table. I very successfully turned up a jigsaw in the store "Our House" Caliber LEM-610E for only 862r. Included: wood file, side stop, vacuum cleaner adapter, spare brushes for the motor.

There was an outlet next to the display case and I looked at it in operation. Quite decently made, convenient, there is an adjustment of speed with a wheel, the inclusion is fixed with a button. The saw holder moves clearly without backlash.

It’s very fortunate that I was able to twist it in my hands before buying it, I wouldn’t risk ordering it from the Vseinstrumenty.ru website without knowing what it is. (Although the reviews about it are good) By the way, it costs more there and also pays for delivery ... so I successfully bought it in Our House. :)

Despite the advantages, he has a number of shortcomings that he saw on closer examination:

1) The file does not fit into the file holder. Apparently this is a copy of the marriage, but I did not waste my time on the exchange. Each saw has to be sharpened. (Although on the second jigsaw I won’t be able to use them after turning - it doesn’t matter, they are relatively inexpensive)
2) And this drawback can be seen even in the picture. The canvas is tilted strongly forward. (This also managed to be fixed by putting under back soles of tin strips, achieving 90 o .
3) The speed control wheel turns hard, not very clearly and with jamming. At the minimum speed value, the tool cannot start at all (However, the same garbage with the start-up of my other "caliber" drills. This is unpleasant, but does not spoil life much)

As always, everything is in the spirit of minimalism. I did not make a separate switch. It is quite conveniently turned on with a standard button and fixed.

To do this, I bought a bracket in KrepMarket (this is a fastener from some kind of iron structure system)

By the way, I love CrepeMarket. Any screws, nuts, screws, fasteners. Every time I design something, I wander there in thought and collect the necessary details for myself.

The excess was cut and trimmed.

Back view. Now the distance between the bearings has a fixed file clearance of 1.2mm. I have a plan for the future: make a gap adjustment.

For thin materials can be omitted below.

As an experiment, I drew an asterisk and tried to cut it out evenly

For a 130mm file, the maximum possible thickness is 5cm. It turns out that there are very long files, I recently saw a 300mm file on the market

Sawed off a 1.5mm slice from a 40x40mm bar

Which is what I did. Now it can cut long workpieces with a width of 11.5 cm. The old L-shaped design also remained, and if more strength of the holder is needed, it can be installed again, although the new design has remained quite strong and reliable.

I also came up with the idea of ​​making a knife out of an old blunt file, grinding off its teeth and sharpening it.

They can figuratively cut material like a sealant. The cut is even. Much better than a utility knife. Pictured is a mouse pad.

Well, perhaps that's all. The table turned out to be reliable and comfortable. Now I have a tool on which I can do finer work than on a circular.

Wood carving with a jigsaw is rapidly gaining popularity: many people want to buy an interesting decor item to decorate their home, furniture and even clothes! Carved objects of various thicknesses organically fit into any interior style, often people buy photo frames for photos with ornaments, sawn words and letters, or order intricate shelves and other interesting products. Few people know that artistic cutting out of plywood with a jigsaw is a business accessible to any person, even an unprepared and inexperienced one. You just need to understand how to work with the tool.

What is a jigsaw: a general description

A jigsaw is a tool designed for cutting out various contours from plywood, including curved ones. It is equipped with a blade with fine teeth that can cut the plywood evenly without the formation of significant burrs.

Hand tool

The ancestor of this type of tool is a manual jigsaw. It is a metal arc in the shape of the letter "U", between the ends of which a saw blade is stretched, attached to the clamps. They securely hold the file during operation and allow you to adjust its tension. On one side of the frame is a handle.

The clamps on the tool can rotate, creating different planes for sawing, thereby providing the opportunity for woodcarving of varying complexity.

When sawing plywood with a manual jigsaw, you need to be careful: its design is rather fragile, during intensive work the blade often breaks from effort and heat, so it has to be replaced. To do this, each master must have several dozen spare files.

When working with a jigsaw for carving internal contours, it is convenient to use such an auxiliary board as in the photo: it will help protect the table and solve the problem of conveniently positioning the workpiece.

Electric jigsaw

The tool is powered by electrical network. It is a case in which working mechanisms are located, a handle for control is also made on it. The sawing organ is located in the front lower part. The blade is often protected by a foot, which allows you to cut the contour exactly along the line without deviation. Advanced and professional jigsaw models have various attachments that facilitate the sawing process and level the edges of the plywood.

Blades can have different teeth in shape and size. It is necessary to select saw blades corresponding to the material being processed so that there is no damage and damage to the plywood sheet during the operation of the mechanism.

Classification of jigsaws by power and application:

In the instructions on how to use a jigsaw, or in technical passport the main parameters of the tool that must be taken into account when using the mechanism should be described.

Wood carving tools

Sawing with a jigsaw is a creative process, but it requires preparation and additional equipment. What is required for work:

Stencil preparation

Jigsaw drawings can be different sizes, depending on the scale of the manufactured product. To create a scheme for a shelf, a piece of furniture or a composite three-dimensional toy, you can take a large sheet of drawing paper A1 or A0, the wallpaper remaining after the repair is also suitable, for small figures they take plain A4 paper or another suitable format.

On the surface with a bright pencil or marker, draw the outline of the future product, adhering to the dimensions. It can be an element for assembling furniture, a shelf or other large product.

There are so many jigsaw templates on the web that choosing the right one can be difficult. It is much easier to come up with your own patterns for cutting and transfer them to paper.

Transferring the image to the surface of plywood or boards

Before you start cutting with a jigsaw, you need to transfer the image from the stencil to a wooden or plywood blank. To do this, cut out a figure from the sheet, apply it to the surface of the plywood and carefully circle it. It is desirable that the line is even and accurate. We use a simple pencil so that, if necessary, we can correct the line by erasing it with an eraser.

We apply the contour from the back side so that no remnants of lines are visible on the finished product. The inner area can be shaded so as not to cut off the excess and designate inviolable areas.

It is important to transfer the drawing in such a way as to minimize sawing along the fibers with a jigsaw - it is so difficult to get a straight line.

Sawing process technology

How to use a jigsaw, for sure, many have heard. Working with the tool will not cause difficulties if you prepare for it correctly.

Carving on plywood begins with the inner contours of the pattern. To do this, you need to make slots for inserting the tool blade:

• Plywood is often taken thin, and there will be no problems when cutting a large contour, and tension may occur in a small residue. Sawing with a jigsaw inside can damage the product - chips, burrs, dissection;
• It’s easier to work this way: you always have something to hold the workpiece for. A large sheet is much easier to handle than trying to hold a small sawn piece while the inside is being formed.

How to cut with an electric jigsaw:

Working with an electric jigsaw is much easier than with a hand tool, there is no need to exert physical effort and the process is faster.

How to saw with a jigsaw:

There is nothing complicated, as you can see, in this process.

Defects in work

If you did not follow the technology, held the tool incorrectly, the saw may simply move off the line. Why does the jigsaw saw crookedly:

• tilted the tool during operation;
• saw blade tension loosened;
• with an electric saw, it is possible to loosen the fastening of the saw.

To avoid such problems, be sure to check the tension of the saw and the fastening of all working elements before starting sawing. If the blade is beveled and stuck, it's best to start over and make the line parallel to the faulty one.

A little about safety

Safety precautions when working with a jigsaw for sawing plywood and wood are simple:

• Use protective equipment- goggles, gloves, bathrobe. These things will protect you from dust and small chips.
• Sawing with a manual jigsaw should be done carefully so as not to damage the fingers with a saw. Keep the distance between the body and the instrument.
• If you are a beginner, carefully read the instructions on how to use a jigsaw, the main characteristics of the tool. This information will help to avoid accidental injury and damage to the unit.

Wood carving with an electric jigsaw requires accuracy and attention. Both your health and the integrity of the finished product depend on these qualities.

What can be made from plywood: interesting ideas and drawings

Sawing wood with an electric jigsaw or hand tool is a creative process. You can create many decorative products in different directions:

Drawings of plywood crafts do not have to be made in exact dimensions. Even taking an example from the Internet and changing its silent proportions, you will get a unique product that no one else has in this form.

DIY plywood crafts can be painted or left in a natural color, you can glue buttons, beads, ribbons and other decor on them to revive the product. To do this, it is worth involving children in the work, their imagination is a bottomless storehouse of interesting ideas.

We offer you diagrams with photos for cutting plywood with a jigsaw.

You can figure out for yourself what you can cut out using a hand or electric tool, make your own sketch and transfer it to paper, then to a canvas of wood or plywood.

Carving plywood with a jigsaw requires certain knowledge and skills. If you don't have them, consider the following rules:
