StageTech Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 New guy here, but not new to woodworking. I have been building stage productions for 30 years. Recently became interested in building wooden gear clocks. I plan to retire in a couple of years and I think I might enjoy building clocks. I teach stagecraft at a university and have access to just about every tool you could imagine. I am setting up my shop at home to build clocks but I have not purchased a scroll saw yet. I don't want to invest a fortune in case I decide I do not like it. I hope to learn from the forum and look forward to participating.

heppnerguy Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I also want to send you a Welcome to The Village. There are a lot of members here and all are friendly and helpful to one another. Log on often and you will very shortly feel right at home here. It sounds like you are in an interesting job with lots of on going challenging. Wooden gear clocks will continue to push your envelop and present new challenges along the way. There are a lot of helpful things to find out about if you have never been into scrolling , like the wood, blades and saws you might need to understand about in order to keep from making otherwise misjudgments that could discourage a newbie to scrolling. All you need to do is ask. All these things are like cars in as much as there are no one right answer because of personal prefferances (sp) but you can learn a lot by asking first then buying after.

meflick Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Welcome from another East Tennessean. What part of East TN are you in? I am in the Knoxville area. Several others here like Denny from East TN and other parts of TN as you can see. Lots of good scroll saws out there to be had. Some of the better ones can sometimes be found being sold used on Craigslist if you don't want to spend to get a new one. Look forward to your participation here.
