Anyone do it standing up?

Scroll saw, that is. 

I had to tonite because my template was so long.  It was kind of a nice change of pace.

Hi, Janet!

I like to 'mix it up' a bit!  Keeps it exciting!

Hey Janet, I usually sit on a stool and occasionally stand if the work piece it to big.

You really like to start things don't you?

On a serious side, standing doesn't work with my bad back and sitting, I have to have my feet up due to bad knees therefore no foot pedal.

Whoever called these the golden years was color blind, it's pure rust.

Maybe we should design a scroll saw stand so we can lie down and scroll.  ha!

Well my wife told me to just stay in the shop one night, I guess I could have laid down an scrolled LOL.

My grandfather used to say, "Why stand when you can sit?  Why sit when you can lay?"

Someone needs to start working on this plan.  Maybe use one of those tables with the face hole like those massage tables.

I've heard of doctors walking on a treadmill while doing there paperwork. I've considered trying this while scrolling..the results couldn't be any worse than how my cuttings look after a beer or few,LOL..Jon

WOW!
What a leading question!

YES, I often do it standing up especially since i got the new saw.
First time I tried sitting on my old stool I felt like my chin whiskers were going to get caught in the blade!
Have since acquired a "YardSale" stool and now I have to cut about 3" off its legs 'cause it is too tall and I feel like I am going to fall onto the saw table when leaning in.

Just saw on the news that there is a treadmill with a desktop at the front for "executives" who want to get more exercise.  Walk while they work.  Probably could put a scroll saw there instead.

Kepy...

If the knees can be replaced it IS worth it!
I rubbed bone on bone for over 35 years and finally succumbed to the Titanium wonder!
If the other one so much as twinges i will have it done in a heartbeat!
It ain't perfect and it gets cold in the winter but the PAIN is GONE!!!
