DeWalt DW788 Scroll Saw

Back on Feb 26 I posted a question asking for comments on the DW788 ("Any comments on the DeWalt DW788 scroll saw?" I want to thank everyone for the many positive responses on this saw. At first I thought it was out of my budget, but I came across a special sale from one of the big box stores that saved me almost $200 off the list price, including shipping and sales tax. it arrived in-store last Friday and I picked it up on Sunday morning. It came basically pre-assembled except for the table (it weighs a ton - seems like maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of the total weight of the saw !!!) and a couple bolts and thumbscrews.

It's a dream compared to my old 16" Craftsman. I haven't had time to do more than a few basic tests cuts, but I can't wait to start on projects.

Again, many thanks to "The Village People." Without your overwhelmingly positive comments I would never have gone ahead and purchased the DW788.

Now if only I can find an old posting here for an easy to use script font for scrolling.

You will find that most text processing programs like MSWord and APACHE OFFICE and others have most of the better fonts embedded, so just selecting one that you like, and sizing it to your needs will get printable templates easily. I think they also allow importing fonts from other sources too, though I haven't tried this. Don't forget the Italics and Bold versions too.

You are right Bird of Paradise does not have numbers. 

One of my favorite script font is Milkshake by Laura Worthington
