Scroll saw plans

[Boradryn]

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.

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.

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.
