The American Woodshop - 3005 - Scroll Saw Art and Sign Making

This type of cutting is remarkable. These delicate blades cut the hardest of wood (hard maple) with ease. Suzy demonstrates the techniques that she uses for the best results. She scrolls a reverse image tiger and Scott uses the same technique to complete an eagle. Routed lettering featured.

Thanks for using the scroll saw and the wonderful tips and inspiration. Suzy is a master of the craft and you are pretty darn good yourself!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Michael. We'll pass them along to Scott and Suzy!

This production is so inspiring! I love how the two of you team up, and enjoy (obviously) both the products of the work. Almost as much as your time together! How refreshing. especially now at VALENTINES day!!
I have two questions. First how is it that the dust collection on the scroll saw is so quiet? And two, from what I could see, it looks like the dust collection that is connected to the bottom of the scroll saw, covers the bottom of the blade holder. How do you change the blade without removing the dust attachment?

Couples goals 😕

Hello, first time visiting and won't be the last. Happy Valentine's Day 💗. What scroll saw does Sussy use?

[@mtz3843]

very nice, what scroll saw was she using?

Now that I have watched this episode a couple of times, and I learn more each time, may I ask a couple of questions? First, if I am not mistaken, it looks like you are using a King Industrial scroll saw. I have used a DeWalt 788 for about 5 years. I have developed essential tremors in both my hands so I suspect that my time scrolling may be limited. I am thinking of treating myself to an upgrade while I can still use and enjoy it. The King 16 inch is within my budget. My local woodworking store does not carry this saw and I find very little info about it. Long way to say, how do you like the one you use?
Second, wonderful way to make signs! What size bit and bushing are you using?
Your program is innovative, imaginative and just plain fun. I don’t know if it helps but I have conveyed my opinion to the home offices of a couple of your sponsors. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’re putting the fun back into woodworking!

When did Jigsaw become Scroll saw? In 1954, I bought a "Rockler" JIGSAW. All manuals and blade packages are marked JIGSAW. I still have some blades and patterns and ALL say Jigsaw. Scroll saws were hand held devises. Any answers would be good.
