gingerbread, corner trim patterns

[John R.]

Hi all,

Just new to scrollsawing and will be starting my first project next week.
I have a DeWalt 788.
I need to make some gingerbread corner trim for the posts on our veranda.
I bought one to use as a sample but it`s too plane and I`m now looking for a more elaborate pattrern. Can anybody lead me in the right derection here.

Many thanks

John R.

Gingerbread trim


Thanks Smitty,

Yes I tried that first also. Lots of sites want to sell their gingerbread trim. Challenge is finding a site that will sell you a pattern or still better find a site that will let you download trim patterns for free ( am I dreaming here?)

But thanks again for the quick reply,

Perhaps you might find something satisfactory if you browse through some scroll saw mags or books for candle sconces. Of course, you'd need to enlarge the patterns!

Here is a link

Here is a link to a Gingerbread Fretwork supplier called Empire WoodworksThey have some really nice designs there.
I have had one of their catalogs before and the selection is awesome.
Most of the brackets have little black and white pictures so you can compair designs.

Hey I just looked this up - on Amazon.ca rather than com - price from Canadian Amazon is 78C$ WHAT???????????

BTW, welcome John - what part of NS are you in?

Wow, the US dollar must be BACK!

I have a copy of that book from the library, and it's good, but not worth $78 in any currency!

The patterns are quite similar to shelf patterns, like Gill pointed out.

LOL If that reflects the exchange rate I sure as hell won't be visting the US in the near future...

The only book I ever paid over 70CAD was a plant encylopedia - but then it has over 1000 pages in full colour. Only problem is that it nearly takes a forklift truck to pick up the darn thing - it definitely isn't bedtime reading unless you want to risk concussion if you drop off to sleep...
