The Wood is Quaking - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Just spent an hour or so cleaning the saw and getting everything ready to begin cutting again. Weather here is finally warm enough consistently to begin to think about days in the yard.

Blew out all the dust, sanded and waxed the table, torqued all the bolts on the stand and just generally cleaned everything. But as I was putting the saw back in the shed, a pile of wood shifted and fell as if it was trying to get away.

Maybe the sawdust gremlins set up housekeeping during the winter!

Better watch out Jim, might be termites after your wood.

Just need to train those termites to cut the wood for for you.

The wood pile was telling you: "CUT ME!"

Or maybe they are just calling "Me first...Cut me first." Most often when a piece of wood meets the scroll saw something wonderful comes of the experience!
