Scroll Saw Stand

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this or if it should be under "Other Woodworks", if I'm wrong I apologize.

 

I thought this might be of interest to some of the members. Steve Carmichael at the Carmichael Workshop made a mobile stand for his DeWalt scroll saw, although it could easily be used for other brands. There is short video and pdf plans which are free. It certainly takes up less space than my stand!

Very nice, thanks for sharing.

 

So, time to show what a newbie (ie. idiot) I am... After seeing how that stand was designed to have the back end of the saw raised, I thought "Hmmm, that may be kind of nice."  So I went out to my shed and found a block of wood and was placing it under the back leg of my Dewalt stand and I see 4 bolts... "I wonder what those are for?"  I assembled it a year ago and didn't remember... And then of course the idiot moment hit... It has a built in adjustment to be able to raise the back end...

 

I bet that while I was assembling it I wondered "Why would you want the back end jacked up? Maybe it's to adjust for uneven floors."  LOL

 

I now have my stand/saw at a nice angle and will see how I like it with the next dog puzzle I cut.
