Nicely done Shane!

Never seen a scroll saw before, though I have heard the name. Reminds me of an old Singer sewing machine in a way. Thanks for sharing.

good demo. Thanks, Shane!

Good advice and a beautiful outcome.  

I don't have a working scroll saw and I've used a jig -hand held reciprocating saw.   With mediocre outcomes.
