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.

Scrollsaw info from Wikipedia

A scroll saw is a small electric or pedal operated saw useful for cutting intricate curves where a jigsaw or coping saw is not appropriate; it is capable of creating curves with edges. It is somewhat similar to a band saw, but unlike band saws, in which the saw blade is a continuous loop, scroll saws use saw blades similar to those used by coping saws and operate through a quick reciprocating up and down motion. Its advantages compared to a bandsaw are that the blade can be removed and placed in situ into a pre-drilled starting point, allowing for cuts within surface boundaries, and the scroll saw is able to cut much more intricate curves.

There are many different brands of scroll saws on the market today. Notable ones include Excalibur (made in Canada), RBI (made in the USA), Hegner (made in Germany), Eclipse (made in the USA), and DeWalt (originally made in Canada, but now made in the Far East). There are also a number of less expensive scroll saws made in the Far East including: Delta, Dremel (Bosch), Craftsman, Ryobi and others.
