Saw this from another tool website and you just have to be amazed at what he did with 3/4 inch plywood for the most part.
Isn’t this like feeding beef to a cow. Oh no, Mad Scroll Saw Disease.
hahahaha thats funny! But that scroll saw is slick!
I couldnt imagine taking on this project…..
Wow, that’s some serious skill there.
When I was in my early teens (back in the late 50’s) my grandfather made me a foot powered scroll saw. He built the parallel arms mechanism of hardwood and mounted it to an old treadle sewing machine table and frame. A belt driven shaft turned an eccentric shaft that engaged a slot in the lower arm. Variable speed and room galore! Man did I ever spend hours cutting up plywood on that thing until one day, in the process of moving it, the cast iron frame got broken.
The skill to build something like that is rare in today’s world.
