hello fellow scroll saw'ers

I've just joined what looks like an interseting forum. Im from the UK & i'm relatively new to wood working and a beginner to scroll sawing! I have a chronic pain condition which limits my time that I can do most things but I have chosen scroll sawing as its not too physical to do!!

I have on order Axminster's AWFS18 - just waiting for delivery. It looks like a good machine for the price.

I have been looking into blade types. Blimey! need to do more research on this one! there seems to be a whole virety available....

Cheers for now.............

WELCOME!!! and yes, this is a good site. lots of experience here and replies come pretty quick. personally, i use flying dutchman blades, but i just started thread in tools and blades to find out what other scrollers are using and whats out there. you will get many good suggestions from the folks here.

Hi. Maxster. I have same saw as you for the last two years and find that as long as set it up correctly , Blades - well as for blade suppliers try Hobbies of Dereham for Olson saw blades-You've to find that loads patterns in SWW . also info about scroll saw cutting in a John Nelson article in 2003 check it out, Scroll saw handbook by Pat Speilman is really worth it for the golden answers. ------------------------------WOODHANTS - Making wood chips

Hi Maxster,

Welcome to the site. The people here are very friendly with good advise. When it comes to blades, everyone has their one preference.
