|  Just Arrived Hi all, Just joined this site and am looking for some great advice for someone new to scrollsaws. I have done some woodworking in the past, but now that I am retired I am getting back into woodworking with more intentionality. I would like to focus on pen turning, box making and scrollsaw work, particularly in the are of inartsia. Does anyone have some suggestions on some beginning books that would get me started in scrollsawing?? Thanks Looking forward to being on this board. David Wendel - Des Moines, Iowa |

|  Welcome to the family, David. For scrollsaw books, you can't go wrong with anything by Spielman. We have some really great pen turners and intartia artists here,too, so I'm sure one will advise there.

| Scroll Saw Workbook by John A. Nelson published by Fox Chapel (Owner's of this site and forum) 2nd Edition. {on far right hand side of this web page, click on the large Icon for New Scroll Saw Books... Then scroll down a bit to purchase the book.} Scroll Saw Handbook by Patrick Spielman (somewhat out of date) published by Sterling Press. Last I checked, both books are for sale at Amazon.com (used and new) Some download videos available at Rick Hutchenson's web site http://www.scrollsaws.com/ but you should have a fast Internet service. Dial-up would be slow. If there is a Rockler's or a Woodcraft store near you, they have all sorts of Scroll Saw books, at full retail prices. Some good books which are not just a hair above the 'beginner teaching' books: Many other books on link to Fox Chapel books on right hand side of screen: but also the following older books which may be in your local Library: Decorative & Ornamental Scroll Saw Patterns by Patrick Spielman and Dirk Boelman published by Sterling Scroll Saw Puzzle Patterns by Patrick Spielman published by Sterling (may be out of print.) Hope this helps Phil |
