gcruz Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 HI, My name is George and I live in the Island of Guam(U.S. territory). I am a Navy retiree of 21 yrs. and now contractor. I still recall till this day, my first Craftsman 16 in.scroll saw when I was 19 yrs old just a rookie .I did some name plates, Christmas ornaments , and several animals. It's very rewarding when you see the final product is complete.I had stopped for a long period of time(28 Yrs.) and now I'm back again trying to read up and see what the latest technology on scroll saw. I look forward in gaining and sharing information to the group. I'm leaning towards a Dewalt 788 scroll saw and getting some flying Dutchman blades too. Thank you. Happy New Year Scrolling Steve, bobscroll, lawson56 and 1 other 4 Quote

Scrappile Posted January 2, 2018 Report Posted January 2, 2018 Glad you are joining us. I started with a 16" Craftsman many many years ago. Don't know the model, but what a pain it was. Had to get down on my knees with two tool to clamp a blade in the lower clamp! Bit I did some scrolling with it. A lot of people start with the DeWalt. I would not be surprised if more did than didn't. I just say get the best your budget will allow. Quote
