Travis Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Why do you enjoy scroll sawing? A simple question. Its easy to answer with one or two words without thinking much about it. But give it some thought. Why do you scroll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messman Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Lets see, why do I scroll? I guess I can't just answer because I can, can I? LOL Well my answer is that I love woodworking period, regardless of what type it is. Building furniture is expensive (which is my favorite woodworking) so I turn to the scroll saw to keep me in the shop as much as time allows, which is not much. But when I can get into the shop scrolling allows me to stay rooted in woodworking, it also relaxes me, and it allows me to make a few gifts from time to time for my family.

Clayton717 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm a guy. Scroll saw is a power tool. Need I say more? that reminds me of a Ray Stevens song. I wish I could find the original video, but here's one of it I found on you tube. I like Ray's songs/videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNzupfBY ...

wombatie Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Good one Clayton. Any way why do I scroll? I tried all the usual female things sewing, knitting etc. and to put it plainly I was useless at all of them. I have always loved wood, maybe because I'm married to a carpenter, so when Terry got himself a scroll saw I was intrigued so I asked how it worked and hay presto I was hooked and I was good at it. Well I wore that saw out and Terry never got on it. LOL Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captlucky Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I need something to do in the winter my shop is not heated. so i bring the saw into the sun room and enjoy it all winter long, then move back to the boat shop in the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 John, Old Dust, the last time I tried to make something on the sewing machine it ended up in the garage as an old rag and that was BEFORE it was worn. Thats how good my sewing is. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippygeoff Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I was going mad with boredom with nothing to do. I was so used to working long days as a carpenter but a disability prevented me from working so i took to the scroll saw, best thing i ever did, just love it. As I say to the people at the craft fairs. I have to sell the stuff so i can make some more. There are several reasons why I do it. One is obviously to keep me occupied. I love the creative side of it, getting a piece or plain wood and turning into something really nice and useful. I love the challenge as well on the more difficult things. It keeps me going every day. I get up in the morning and really look forward to getting on the saw and very often i am still there late into the evening.
