| | Just another new guy Hi, I have been doing Intarsia ect. for several years. I just boght a Foredom power unit last fall. So am coming over here to learn how to use it. I lurk on the Scroll Saw site. I have had a Dremell tool and other small units for years but do not know how to use them either.
Anyway looking forward to learning from you guys.

| | Re: Just another new guy Come on, Alan...you do more than LURK over there! And you're being too modest! Alan does some amazing work on the scroll saw...and if he does even half as well with the Foredom, we're in for a real treat!

| | Re: Just another new guy Thanks for the kind words BobD.
I have been trying to put this site up on my toolbar as a button. I managed to get the scroll saw one up there but don't remember how. If someone can explain how to do it I would be very greatfull.
An answer will have to be worded so an idiot can follow, I am so lost on this computer.lol
Thankls, Alan. |

| | Re: Just another new guy Hi Alan,
Welcome to the otherside of woodworking/carving. I just got a scroll saw a weel ago but hadn't thought about using it for scroll saw work, just small shapes and cutouts to carve.
You'll get used to the Foredom in no time. |

| | Re: Just another new guy Hello and welcome, I have a Foredom unit and really like it. I don't have a Scroll Saw, but use a Bandsaw. Would enjoy a Scroll Saw though, looks like you can do a lot of things with one.

Kathy | Hi Kathy,
I had been checking craigslist.org lately and found a scroll saw and bandsaw for4 myself. I wished I had gottem them sooner though.
A Ryobi scroll saw was listed at $25. Said it was like new and the photo sure looked it too. I would have gotten it but it would have cost me $40 in gas. I guess w/ the economy the way it is people are just selling stuff they don't use. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
