Hi everyone,

It has been while since posting on this site and I wish you all a safe and happy Christmas!

I have been busy fighting for my life this year when my illness got complicated and I got Dead Bowel Disease. I am back on the mend with a vengance and back at teaching scrolling and at work. Busier than before...

I will be in Canada next year in Manitoba (July/Aug).

Have a great holiday and a very safe New Year!

Decided to register and do this on the spur of the moment. I wanted a readily available reference site instead of the Patrick Spielman book at the library.

I bought a slightly used Ryobi scroll saw last month. It had never been used and was only $50. Scrollsawing is something that I really wanted to try my hand at. The Ryobi wasn't my first choice but I could at least afford it and I thought it would be a good starter saw.

I do have a few questions for anyune out there. And I do know that the best thing right now is just practice until I'm used to using this saw.

My main purpose for this saw is for making clocks using my wildlife photos as the dial face. (Not the wooden gear clocks.) And for making toys.

Now, should I post my questions here or should I try and find the appropriate section and start posting there?

There is a Hegner Multimax 22V VARIABLE SPEED SAW on Ebay I may make an offer on, but at present its pick up only and its a good way off from me.
My woodworking has taken me this way as a friend purchased a violin clock made from a Wildwood Designs plan. We have now purchased plans so we can make our own.No point in starting on something too easy is there.
Any comments on the saw appreciated.
Cheers from Australia.
Hope to find lots of information here so thanks in advance. Ian

I am fairly new to scrollsawing. Been using my band saw mostly , but it is just not versatile enough, (as most of you understand.) . I am looking forward to watching and learning here, If possible lend a helping word or two, Jediscroller's beginners guide was great. That is why I'm here. Thanks Jedi. Simple Question please. What are the advantages of circilar blades over flat blades in wood working. Used circilar when carving wax for jewelry as it worked best . But am confusted about wood. ]]> Welcome Members Heartywood http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/welcome-members/26581.htm http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/welcome-members/26573.htm Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:44:39 GMT Hi - I am new to scrolling. My husband passed two years ago and I now have his equipment. I take a "ladies only" woodworking class at our local high school. And I really enjoy scrolling.

My husband had a Hawk model 214 scroll saw that I want to use. The problem is that there are no manuals to go with the saw and it appears the screw in the upper blade holder has been stripped. Is there anyone who can help me or should I just plan on putting this saw to rest? Because my husband was ill for a number of years before he passed, it has probably been 10 years since this saw has been used.
Does anyone have any ideas that might help me?

Thanks!

I'm a general woodworker and scroller. I'm probably not as good as most of you, but I am planning more scroll related projects. So I thought it would be good to have contact with other scrollers to share experience with. Right now I am working with my grandkids to make Christmas gifts for their parents. I've been using a Delta scroll saw with variable speed and quick blade change. I have a few new ideas which will mean doing a lot of scrolling in the near future. I wanted a really good saw and so with the Financial Director's encouragement I went out yesterday and bought a new Excalibur 30" scroll saw. Forgive my bragging, but I have been dying to tell someone who might actually be a little interested! So now I have a Ferarri and don't know how to drive. I tried it out a little today and it's a dream machine. I hope with time, I will grow into it. I'm really looking forward to becoming acquainted with you in due course. ]]> Welcome Members Stefang http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/welcome-members/26553.htm http://www.scrollsawer.com/forum/welcome-members/26550.htm Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:30:55 GMT Hello everyone,i'm new to the forum,been

I've got the scroll saw itch again - after several years of furniture making and a spell of trying to learn to turn. Thought I'd see what was available on the web now-a-days and found this site. Looks great!
