BigD Posted August 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2016 Thanks everyone. I'm only using a very basic, cheap, 90w scroll saw without speed control just to get started. I bought it as a used model just to see if I was worth better. In Britain wood is very limited or very pricey so not using anything special yet. But number 2 and 3 I've made, still thinking about number 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm impressed! especially the fishermen. I have not started a project yet. I'm still in the process of setting up my scroll saw. I've only made a holder for my blades. That is only my first attempt at wood work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobscroll Posted August 15, 2016 Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hello Dave and welcome to the village! Thank you for the intro, I live in the north west of good old England, You have gotten off to a good start on your scrolling, By the way Dave you can get some great pieces of wood out of skips, old furniture-like drawer sides, I used to drive a skip wagon for a time and the things I saw thrown out was unbelievable! If you have a bandsaw you can re-saw wood down to what you want O.K. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
