      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.

    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.

    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.

  • @dsigetich
    @dsigetich 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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.
