My wonderful boyfriend has bought me a scrollsaw for christmas, its sitting boxed up in the garage and i just can't wait to get my hands on it. Only a few days left to wait!  ;D Does anybody have any tips or advice for me as i have never used one before?

Hi Amanda, I'm Keith from Cornwall. I agree with SheGold, check out Steves site. There are lots of tips and "How To" video's and I found them extreemely usefull. My only other advice is "Make sawdust and enjoy your new hobby"

Hi Amanda, Welcome to the forum! I'm Dan From Southern California. Come on in And join the fun! My first bit of  advice is take the saw out of the box! Set it up. touch it, feel it, and read the manual! Then, put in a blade, see how it runs, get a piece of wood and see how it cuts. Then start asking the questions! We will be here to help with all you questions. Good luck!

Glad you found us. Hi I'm Russ from Florida. Welcome to the Scrollsaw Forum. A day without saw dust is like a day without sunshine.  :)

As a new member you have to take this creed;

This is my Scroll Saw. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My Scroll Saw is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.My Scroll Saw, without me, is useless. Without my Scroll Saw, I am useless.
Because it is my life I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories.
Before all other Scrollers, I swear this creed.




Just kidding. LMBO  :)  :)  :)
