I'm a man of little wealth and fame
New to scroll saws. Have been carving, by hand and with a chainsaw. I saw some intarsia at a craft show we attended recently to buy some Christmas gifts and was hooked. Have been looking for something bit less demanding than chainsaws.
I spent hours reading what I could find online then went out and purchased a saw.
Not being sure yet how this will wind up I purchased a like new porter cable saw off Craigslist. Hardly used, 1 yr old, very clean, and came with a few hundred dollars worth of wood, patterns, and extra blades.
Blades are pin type so first order of business is to order some FD blades from Mike then get the saw and shop (dust collection etc) set up and do some learning while I wait for them to arrive. Getting bit older now I can't tell you how much I look forward to working in an air conditioned shop with small, lightweight pieces of wood.
If things work out like I hope they will I plan on selling a few chainsaws and purchasing a much better saw.
Great site! I look forward to participating.
