Scrollsawing, a safe, fun and fast woodworking hobby



The scrollsaw is one of the safest woodworking tools, and also allows you to be extremely creative. Not the easiest for cutting straight lines, but you can make a wide variety of simple shapes in minutes which can be painted or used as trim pieces on larger projects.
I use a Dewalt scrollsaw and create large colorful "paintings" using the scrollsaw. The reason I say "paintings" is that many people on first glance think my pieces are "just" paintings, however each colored section has been cut out using a scrollsaw. I start with a piece of 1/4" MDF which is usually either 4ft x 2ft or 2ft x 2ft, draw the design on in pencil, then fire up the scrollsaw and start cutting. It 's pretty tricky at times cutting up such a large piece of material on a scrollsaw that only has 20 inches from the blade to the back of the saw, but I love a challenge.

- Really like your lens. I use the Dewalt 788, and make lots of stuff. I really like your painting art projects, they get the old bean thinking about some new ideas of myself. Thanks!

- Hi Dave,
Beautiful artwork! I loved the video about making the maple leaf-- but hey- that Dewalt scrollsaw is one loud puppy- my cat bolted off of the desk when the machine started running. I really hope you are wearing hearing protection when you use this equipment : )

- It's actually not that loud, it's pretty echoey in the carport where I used to scroll. I've since been allowed indoors. I usually have headphones on while I'm scrolling, music and scrolling make Dave happy.
