Wayne Towner Posted April 20 Report Share Posted April 20 I am a hobbyist scroller but more importantly a lucky husband and father! In 2022 I fired up my old craftsman and started scrolling for the first time in probably 20 years. i did a few simple projects and then some nice Steve Good patterns including a modified nurse pattern for my daughter in laws graduation. In January I suffered a stroke. I am fortunate that it did not affect me cognitively, but it did leave my left side flacid. So, i invested in a Dewalt 788 (got a great deal) because of the ease with changing the blade with one hand. I will use a hack that Steve Good shared a few years ago to hold the blade. My belief is that scrolling will assist in rehabing my hand. Looking foward to sharing my findings! heppnerguy, JJB and ChelCass 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
