I am building a cabinet and the top has a scalloped look to it. I drew it
on
my computer to actual size. Now I need to transfer it to my wood.

How do you guys do that? Do you print on thick stock, cut out the pattern
and then use it as a stencil? Do you tape the pattern to the wood and cut
the pattern? Do you free hand off of what you did on the computer?

I will be using my Bosch jig saw to make the cut.

Thanks

I also use 3m spray adhesive and glue the pattern right to the stock. But
for really intricate work, I import the pattern into our cam software at
work. Then I cut an exact template out of .09 thick steel on our waterjet. I
roughly saw the shape out of the stock, then using double stick tape I tape
the steel template to my stock. Using a flush cutting router bit, I get
exact copies everytime.
