Great, helpful tips! As a 30-year-old female entering the world of tools and carpentry, I am thankful for people like you who produce informative, relatable, and easy-to-follow videos on the subject matter. I look forward to learning more from your other videos! 😊
48 here and my wife and I are starting a hobby together. I’m semi retired and love to turn wood so really think I will enjoy this too. She’s the creative crafty one. I’m the one who doesn’t have a problem losing a finger.
Thank you, Scott. I’ve been scrolling for a few months, and I watched a few videos about how to do it. You were the only person to recommend a foot switch. I have one for my router table, and I quickly learned the value of keeping both hands on the work piece. You scroll beautifully - I still can’t turn the work piece without it hopping up and down, but you play it like a violin - impressive! Another useful tip: PRACTICE! I don’t do enough of that, so my cuts are not as smooth as yours - I have to use my Dremel tool with a small cutting bit or a sanding wheel to finish up, which is annoying. Keep it up, man - your presentation style is inviting and practical.
I'm not sure if you're still experiencing the problem, but I recall experiencing that when I started. I don't know if it will work for you, but I resolved it by turning up the speed a little and working on holding firm pressure against the workpiece. Also, if may depend on your blades: pin-end still occasionally jump on me but pinless (i.e. thinner) ones don't.
Thanks Scott. I've got a 16 Year old DW788 and was looking to replace it but no longer able to spend $600 plus for a new one. I saw the Bauer and was looking for a review. Yours is about the only one out right now and was very helpful in making up my mind. Thanks
Thank you. You are a pleasant soul that is passionate about your craft and clearly love to help others. I've learnt a lot and I too was frustrated trying to cut a straight line. I thought my saw was junk (inexpensive and old Dremel 571). Turns out that it's all about getting the feel of the machine and understanding the material being cut.
Great help. I don't have a scroll saw yet, but after seeing this, I'm more excited about getting one. Being a seamstress all my life, I'll be getting a kill foot switch. Thank you! You have a new subscriber.
I was just given a new scroll saw as a gift. I’m very schooled in other saws and tools. But this scroll saw is new to me. Thanks for this video I’m less intimidated now about this scroll saw thing.
Thanks for the video, especially the first tip. I am new to woodworking and just got a scroll saw. I heard that the blades break often and was scared that I would injure myself if it did. It makes me more comfortable knowing that if I do get cut, it won't be that bad. This video is helpful for a beginner like me. I also appreciate that you used two camera angles.
That was an awesome run-down by any stretch, but especially for a second video. I like your speaking style, pace, and editing, and I learned a ton. I am brand-new to woodworking, and looking forward to learning more from you.
Thank you for the video. I am a 77 yr old brand newbie to scroll sawing. In fact, I am to take delivery on my first saw tomorrow. It’s a Wen 3923. Im hoping it’s a decent saw. More so, I’m hoping for the best with my limited skills. Your video should prove to be valuable.
Thanks I'm just starting at the age of 76 so looks great stuff thanks liked it I'm in South Africa so we don't have all the gear you guys are blessed with
We're always learning. As I do not use my (Inexpensive) scroll saw very often you have helped me to understand what it can do and what I should be doing. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips. Virtual teacher who keeps buying woodworking tools with dreams of a day I have time to use them. For now watching all you experts videos is my night time routine. Could end with "and Thanks for making it with Scott!"
Great for me as a first timer. I have struggled to understand saw blades and to find good clear explanations on the types of blade etc. My searches have been wide as I am in the UK.
I just stumbled onto your video, that was great. You’re very easy to listen to you and you explain things well. Some people have good content but just great on your nerves to listen to, not in your case! I look forward to seeing more videos advancing my scroll saw skills with your help! Have a great day and thanks again for the great content!
For someone like me who is jus considering investing in my first scroll saw, I found this video to be very helpful. Good tips and everything very easy to understand. Great presentation style!
Thank you very very much I’m just getting started and I think you are very awesome can’t wait to see more you are very kind and I want to thank you for sharing your talent with us beginners sire
Awesome and great video, thanks for sharing!!! Maybe you should make a video on whats the easiest wood to use on a scroll saw and then some more difficult woods to cut.....
Thank you for this video! I am new to scrolling and have now made corbels for my front porch and am working on flat sawn balusters with a pine tree pattern. I've found that the Cricut is a great source for patterns and you can cut them out of cardstock and use temporary adhesive or out of vinyl that has temporary adhesive already on the back (this is a bit more costly). I picked up a lot of good tips from your video! I've been frustrated about my straight cuts not feeling straight as I cut them but yet looking straight when I'm finished; now I know that's normal. Lots of good info! Keep up the good work!
All great tips. Wish I came across you when I first started but learned all these the hard way. One more tip to add is I us Paste wax to lubricate and protect the table.
Greatly enjoyed your presentation. I especially like the split-screen video. How about ending with "Great Scott -- another successful woodworking video."
Thank you for this! I just got my dads old saw and I cut up a few pieces then I thought I would watch some videos. While cutting I wished it had a pedal like my sewing machine. I never even knew that was an option. Thank you!
I know this is an older video, concerning footpedals I REALLY like using a variable speed pedal just like on a sewing machine. If based one your reasoning to save wear and tear, this saves wear on the speed knob as well. Also a lighted tracing pad can be invaluable for tracing pictures
Great tips ! I’m new to the scroll saw and have the most difficulty threading the saw blade into holes for internal cutting. The bottom of the blade comes loose when I’m trying to reattach the blade. This takes a bunch of time and is frustrating. I was hoping to find a video on how to easily move to a new hole without fiddling too much with the blade. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Age is overrated. Do what you like! Best of wishes

Ty for your video. I’ve been “out of the scroll saw” loop for many years. Your refresher is very helpful!
Thanks for explaining things. I too am 71 and do alot of crafting. This is a new venue for me. Need to learn....... Thanks again..
Thanks. I just picked up a scroll saw to do a baby name for our nursery. These tips will help for sure

Brilliant - thanks for this. Just starting out on my scroll saw journey!

Great information!

Thanks for the vid I just started using mine in preparation for christmas gifts and this helps.
Great video, thanks!
