I have 2 scroll saws. I have a Shop Fox and a DeWalt 788 and I love my Big Yellow saw. I have been scrolling for a little over a year and enjoy it. I can combine with some turning projects and in fact, I did the other day. I was practicing turning on the lathe and did not like the way it was turning out and was going to toss it out. Instead I made a cute little bowl and glued it to one end of the wood I had turned on and made a base and glued that on the other end of the wood and voila! A votive candle holder. It turned out to be a special piece for me and will be some thing to look back on a year from now to see how I have been doing. Scrolling is a lot of fun too, you'll be amazed at how many blades you will go through....Enjoy! Fay
