I'd like to try doing one of these, but I'm not very good on the scroll saw. Maybe a 1/8" blade in the bandsaw?

I wouldn't have noticed the "mistake" if you hadn't mentioned it.

I hadn't used a scroll saw for years and even then I had only used one a few times so like you I'm not very good but I'm having plenty of practice and finding it gets easer each time I have a go and I just take my time and use sharp blades
