    The haters will say, "what a lame video, duh, I knew this stuff." To them I say, "SHUT UP!" I have been a woodworker for nearly 60 years in one form or another (kid robbing scrap piles from houses being built in the 1950's, carpenter doing framing and finish work, cabinet maker, you name it. But until last week the scroll saw that was given to me sat atop a stand in my woodworking shop with a broken blade and would occasionally receive a nasty glance from me with the veiled thought, "if eyes were knives," well you get it. Now because you took the time to present the basics I have a pack of blades being delivered tomorrow and I will know EXACTLY what to do with them and will add scroll sawing to my bag of tricks after some set-up and practice. Thank you Kenny, you are exactly what I needed to start something new. Your work here is very much appreciated.

      Well thank you very much for the kind words this morning Dan. I truly appreciate them. I produce this weekly show with one thought in mind and that thought is, that as long as the show helps one person then it was worth all the time and effort that it takes to film, edit and post it. I don't monetize the show so my viewers aren't subjected to advertisements and because I don't monetize the show, I don't make a dime from it and have no desire to. I do it because I love what I do and I love helping others by sharing what I know. I hope that you have some good luck with the scroll saw but just remember, that it takes practice. There are a couple of scroll saw for beginners videos on my channel as well as a show on scroll saw blades and their purpose and limitations. Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have along the way and I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave me a comment. I truly appreciate that.

      Thank you very much on such an informative scroll saw tutorial. Just purchased a 20” Porte Cable scroll saw and this info..came in at the right time. I’ll be looking forward in learning from other videos you may have on this subject. Once again, thanks. Luis

    • @kellyvcraig
      @kellyvcraig 5 лет назад +3

      I agree wholeheartedly, Dan.
      I have a fair sized shop. In it can be found two high end bandsaws, one for scrolling and one for re-sawing. Also found there is a cabinet saw, 4'x6' carving machine, over-arm router, drum, disk, spindle and flat sanders, two lathes, about eleven routers, three dust collectors and on and on.
      Though I've been making sawdust since around 72 and have done a lot of things others haven't, it remains I, like others, haven't done a lot of things others have. I'd never so much as touched a lathe before a couple years ago, so knew nothing of operating one. Now I can say I've got several miles on one and have done unique things others haven't.
      The scroll saw, strange little machine that it is, was foreign to me too, but unlike the lathe and though I bought my first [used] Hegner about ten or so years ago, I've never really taken advantage of it.
      I, like Kenny and others, enjoy sharing. I dislike imbecilics who mock other for not knowing something they claim to know. In fact, a
      while back a fellow was mocking those who didn't know how to run a drill press in metal. Because of my dislike for bullies like him, I took no small amount of pleasure holding him out for his ignorance regarding my woodwork, copper plating, granite work, electronics and, of course, law.
      So, thank you Kenny, and the likes of Dan for his defense of fine work.

Because I want to build this project soon, I'm 71 in a couple of weeks. It's complex, with different species of woods, glass, copper, zinc and brass. I appreciate your lesson and the quality of the teaching. I'll be back. Lol. Thank you for all your help. I like the trick about the tape/lube. That's a Great one!

    I just picked up a used but new to me 156" Delta scroll. I of course watched all these "beginner" videos and not one told the story of how not easy scrolling really is. Thank you for being real with us. I dove into the saw with a very simple pattern and butchered it because of the "look how easy it is" videos. However, now I know just where I went wrong. I'll be coming back for more content!

      Scrolling is the most relaxing form of woodworking there is Teresa, but it takes practice. There are very few people out there who have a natural ability to do this well on the first try. People will claim that they are naturals at it but I find it hard to believe. I'm glad that you found the show useful. I try to give a realistic approach to woodworking and that includes showing mistakes and errors and how to correct them. I'm glad that you recognize the realistic approach to this video. Thanks for tuning in to the show and if you ever have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I would be more than happy to help if I can.

I don’t have a lot of experience time left to make me better so I tuned in, lol.

    Managed to use my scroll saw for the first time today since buying it almost a month ago. I watched this video several times the night before and liked the circle part - feed rate = rotation rate... Yes it is much harder than it looks, I know nothing is ever as easy as it looks, and my first circle would not look out of place in a gearbox. After an hour or so was better. Practice, practice, practice. Really enjoyed it though. Thanks for the videos they are really helpful.

You should keep that first circle and hang it by your scroll saw so that you can see where you started and where you are 6 months or 6 years down the line. I still have one of my original pieces and although it looks all crooked and wonky, I am still proud of it because it was where I started.

I’m a female DIYer who loves working with wood, and smaller projects, and my table saw and old mitre saw aren’t helping. I’m excited to learn and create just the basics right now. The info you presented was so helpful for me, especially about the blades. Knowing the basics are important. If you don’t have a good foundation you can’t progress to bigger and better work. Having just done a test run, I can relate what I did wrong to what you explained. Your information is invaluable!

They are not all scroll saw videos but there might be information to help you in them. A while back, RUclips changed the way they notified channel subscribers. They used to get an email every time the show was posted and now, RUclips has stopped doing that.

Since I sew, I figured it would be pretty much the same. I broke 2 blades playing with it yesterday and today I was able to cut 2 zero clearance insert for my table saw. I am very satisfied with what I've accomplished just in 2 days.

      Good for you for jumping right in there with both feet and giving this a try. The biggest difference between a sewing machine and the scroll saw is that with a scroll saw, there is blade drift and deflection through wood grain and other naturally occurring factors. It takes a little practice to use a scroll saw to overcome those factors. Keep enjoying your new machine. (great deal by the way). If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

She puttered with it for maybe an hour and couldn't keep the stock down on the up lift of the blade. She got scared of it and has less than two hours total on the new saw now. She knows I like watching your channel and respect you as a woodworker with skill so maybe now I can get her out into the shop with me. Did I say that I enjoyed the video? Well I did.

I also appreciate his philosophy that this endeavor is meant to be enjoyable, not a race!

    Trying to start a new hobby after losing my husband who was a lover of woodworking. Scrolling seems like something I, a crafter, could learn. I bought a Dewalt 788, thinking how hard can this be? It's hard. Your video made me feel so much more comfortable about the learning curve. Much appreciated. I will be watching the rest of the series.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  2 года назад +2

      Scrolling is not a natural thing and there are very few people who are good at it right out of the gate. You've got yourself a decent saw there in the DW788 and I encourage you to continue practicing to improve your skills. If you ever have any questions at all, please feel free to ask. Whether it be here on RUclips or privately via the channel's Facebook page or via email, I would be more than happy to help if I can. Thank you for tuning in to the show.

    Nice tutorial. Thank you. I was fortunate to have a generous mentor/teacher who introduced me to scrolling. (Salute to you Norm Nichols. Forever grateful for your kindness). Didn't continue, didn't practice. Didn't keep in touch. Life happened. Am resuming after good 7-8 years. Dusted off old Dremel. Sawed three names last three nights in a row. Not perfect but better than not doing it. I'll be watching your videos for refresher and help moving forward. Thanks again.

    Thanks a bunch, my brother who lives several states away bought most of the large woodworking tools and stands my husband had in the garage. All of a sudden, I have been getting more and more involved with wanting to work with wood after I bought myself a power tool kit to modify and reinforce a fence line for my dog. I REALLY wish I at least had the miter saw back. But, one thing my brother didn’t take was a Dremel 10” variable speed scroll saw. I just discovered what it was tonight and am ready to learn what I can do with it. You are explaining things so thoroughly and I’m hoping it will make me more comfortable and confident when I do decide to power it up.

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  Год назад

      I hope you do power it up and try it Jennifer. It takes practice but it's fun practice and you would be amazed at how many projects are applicable to the scroll saw.

    I really enjoyed the show,dude your saw looks like its a pleasure to use. I reluctantly use mine,its violent as hell,one speed,wide open is it. It has mashed my fingers so bad they bleed when the blade lifts the stock. Im very appreciative to have it since its a give me,but man its a beast. Another thing for beginners,if they are like i was,i went to lowes and asked for a number 5 blade,they looked at me like i was stupid,they go by tpi where i buy mine. I still don't know what the numbers mean as far as tpi. I just use same concept as a bandsaw blade,more tpi more curve,less tpi thicker stock,less curve. thanks for sharing kenny

Sounds like it might be helpful for some folks. Thanks for tuning in tot he show again this week. Good luck taming your beast!!!!!

      You're very welcome Lawrence. I'm glad to hear that you found it useful and informative. For the record, I am a one man show. I do all of the filming via tripod and remote control as well as voice activated GoPro cameras for some of it. There is never a script and I just talk as if I would if you were in my shop so the multiple take of the clips is inevitable. The editing process as well, is all me and on average, it take 3-4 hours of work to edit a show, once the filming and uploading is done. Bottom line here....I am the cameraman, editor, producer, writer and star of this one man show and I am extremely pleased that you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in and please don't hesitate to ask questions that you may have while you are learning the scroll saw.
