Thank you everyone for your suggestions, hopefully I won't be wasting any more sawdust! Cheers

Thanks guys for your input, I've added a scan to clarify the problem. If it was cutting just the triangles that would be fine. Its the pesky gaps and mitres thats beating me. Doing it in paper was easy when the material thickness was irrelevant. Any other ways you can think of to create similar?

As a newbie to the hobby I'm very interested in getting my first purchase right, but can understand that long term members must be very bored with seeing the same old topics of which machine, which blade and where does wood come from! Is it possible to have a sub forum for scrolling tools then...
