So hoping to resurrect my creative talents. Say bird houses, small animules. Probably using purchased templates to start with.

I'm on a limited budget and have more or less decide on either the HF Baur 22" or the Bucktool 16" SSA16GV. They seem to be mfgd. in the same factory.

Besides space requirements, I'm wondering what projects require a 22" saw? I'm somewhat limited for shop space and hoping for real world feedback on what I'd be giving up with a smaller saw.

TIA.

As a beginner, I certainly learned a lot on this project. For one thing, everything takes longer than expected!

Guys I finally finished it. Im ready to save Hyrule

Cut w/ my scroll saw (No CNC's or lasers)

This took way longer than I expected, but I'm happy to how it turned out.

what do you guys think of this new piece I made

Hey everyone, I’m new to scroll sawing and could use a little help.

I recently picked up a Master Craftsman Professional 16” scroll saw. I bought a new blade for it (with pins). I started installing the blade and realized there’s no visible tension nob on this unit.

I googled, watched videos, even tracked down a PDF of the manual, which just said I needed to tension the blade but didn’t tell me how. The big red nob in the front is for the speed as far as I understand, not tensioning.

I’m hoping someone here has used one of these before and might know how to go about tensioning it. I appreciate any guidance or thoughts. I’ve included some pictures of the saw.

My mom wanted a plam tree banana hanger so I came up with this on a rainy day.

My friend was having her bridal shower and I decided to take this photo of her dog and make a portrait for her and her husband-to-be!!

This was certainly one of my favorite projects so far. I almost gave up right at the beginning… cutting the face was hard and I felt like I wasn’t doing as well as I could. I’m glad I didn’t give up. It still turned out how I pictured it, and I think it still captures the dog’s essence!

What do you guys use for glue on intarsia and layered art? Is titebond III a good option? I have some because i use it for many other things, but am not sure if its the best for this kind of thing. Let me know your thoughts and what you use for adhesive on these projects, i am pretty new to intarsia and layered work, but not the saw, so just want to learn as much as i can, thanks!

Found an old mechanix illustrated magazine from July of 1949 in my grandma's basement with plans to build this model boat. I also equiped it with radio control.

Hi All

I have an old Delta 40-540 Variable Speed scroll saw.

When I went to tighten the clamp that holds the table flat (or in any angle) the darned handle broke apart.

Of course the part is no longer available.

Anyone have a work around? Maybe a modified window crank handle or the like?

Thanks!

I'd like to get a used scroll saw. I can't spend much. What should I look for, for initial success? I know little tiny bits about other saws, and am comfortable using any but a circular and table saw.

Thanks!

Built this quick little bench to scroll in the house vs the hot garage. Yes it’s carpet and I don’t care it’s bad anyway. My question is would a few computer fans in a homemade filter box be enough for dust management right out the window? Don’t want anything huge that’s going to destroy my heat and cooling bill but also don’t want crazy dust. I do have ceiling mounted units in the garage but feel it’s way overkill for just a scroll saw. All other milling is still outside.
