Scroll saw throat plate

Part of my scroll saw workflow has been to cut wide of the lines and then spend time sanding or filing, because of tearout.  Also, small pinions and the like tended to fall through the throat plate, necessitating hand tools...

I read that a simple solution to this problem is to make a new throat plate for the saw, so that there is only a little hole for the blade.  Once done, it's almost like a new saw!  I could cut much more precisely -- the blade doesn't tend to drift and the tearout is much reduced.  I cut a whole bunch of parts for the chronometer clock...
