Once printed out, the patterns may be cut out and glued directly to the wood using spray adhesive.  To make the patterns easily removable later on, let the fresh glue sit for about 30 seconds before sticking the pattern onto the wood.

I had a lot of straps lying around, so I took the opportunity to use them up where possible.

If you plan the layout of the patterns just right, you can lay down half of the required pieces, then stack one piece of wood on top of the other.  Tape the layers together so they won't slide around.

Roughly cut out all the pieces on the scroll saw, and re-tape where necessary to keep the halves firmly attached together.
