Boradryn Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I really hope this is the right place to post this request. I want plans to make my own man-powered scroll saw so I can take it with me onsite where there is no electricity. It doesn't really matter if it's treadle or peddle, though I would prefer the former. If anyone can help with this, I would be very thankful. Free would be best, but I will pay if need be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 There are several out there. Rick Hutchenson has plans for both types on sale on his site at http://www.scrollsaws.com/ each are under $20. If you have not been to his site is he a wealth of information. He has several hundred antique scroll saws. The site is well worth putting in your favorites. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Travis Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have a few articles on my blog about home-made scroll saws. Perhaps one of them will work for ya: http://www.scrollsawgoodies.com/2009/03 ... nder-tool/ http://www.scrollsawgoodies.com/2008/08 ... croll-saw/ http://www.scrollsawgoodies.com/2007/12 ... croll-saw/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boradryn Posted August 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks everyone. I had little hope of finding anything since my own search over the last few weeks revealed nothing. I will collect all of the free patterns, and possibly one or two paid for, and decide which will best suit my purposes. It will take a while to gather materials and build, but I'll be happy to post pictures when it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
