My kids have grown up and gone to a different city, where their jobs have taken them. Now my wife and myself are left in the house. I am a furniture designer and I have a workshop where I go to work. So my wife wanted to do something interesting and useful during the day instead of sitting and watching the T.V. the whole day. So I bought her a Dremel moto saw. I taught her a few things, but the best part is she was impressed with your video tutorials and is now taking active interest in learning the scroll saw. Thank you for simple and clear instructions. Thanks once again.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

vijay kunchum Vijay, comments like this make all the time and effort that goes into making these videos more than worth it. Thank You! I wish you and your wife the best and if she has any questions just send me an email [e-mail] I will be more than happy to help.

[@Freeman1776]

I'm usually very disappointed with KZbin "tutorial" videos because most are clueless on how to present information in a way that can be absorbed by the viewer without having to replay the video, but watching your video has been a real treat, very well done, patiently delivered and slowly demonstrated for the viewer to grasp the first time. I'm very happy to have picked your video as my first "how to scroll" tutorial for beginners. Just in this video alone I learned something that happened to me yesterday when practicing on my new scroll saw, I drilled holes and tore the backs of them and thought maybe I should use a larger drill. Now I know exactly what I did wrong! I can't wait to view your other videos, and before I forget, THANK YOU for taking time to teach us on the web how to use equipment properly, its very much appreciated.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Hi MrFreeman, thank you for your comment. I appreciate you taking the time to write it. Good luck with your scrolling but most of all, have fun!...Bob

[@videonovice9]

agreed with everything wholeheartedly and also like that there is no Music (noise) background!!!!

[@katrenco]

Hubby just bought me my first scroll saw....YAY!....so I'm watching your vids before trying some practice cuts in preparation for the first project using the new saw. Thanks for thinking of all the newbies out here!

[@bobbloodworth9447]

I was a newbie once too, that's why I thought these tutorials would be helpful. Thanks for your comment and have fun with your new scrollsaw...Bob

[@robboswell8884]

just watched your 3 tutorials for beginners, I really appreciate the time you took going over so many things. great job and thanks for your time and info.

[@jlh5995]

Hey Bob, thank you so much for the tutorial in Part 1 of your scroll saw series regarding the drilling of a hole without tear out on the board. As an novice that only uses drills infrequently, I wish I had known this technique many times in the past. Look forward to Part 2 of the series.

[@winfly886]

I just got the scroll sew for my Christmas gift. I love your video and show how to practice cutting wood skills. Thank you very much for sharing! Happy New Year!

[@bobbloodworth9447]

Good luck with your new scroll saw and have fun with it.Thanks for your comment and Happy New Year to you and all those around you...Bob

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Thanks for posting. Years ago I bought a brand new Hitachi CW40. Due to health reasons, about that time, it has never been out of the box. Looks like maybe I should open it up.

[@TaylerMade]

nice instructional video... my wife is getting into scroll sawing and after watching a few this is the link I will be giving her.

[@LindaJonesHopeHouse]

Great beginner tutorial--especially for someone who has never used saws or power tools at all! Thank you!

[@mlm1025]

I just bought a brand new scroll saw for art projects. The video was great ! I can't wait to do my first project. I'm going to practice first and the back board is a excellent idea, no tear/always!.:) thanks again !

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Marea M Congrats on your new saw! Glad my video helped and good luck.

[@debbielee9157]

I am new at this and your video gave me a much better understanding of the saw. Thank you

[@RienDekker]

Perfect teaching, thanks sir! Very clear, great real-life examples and this goes for all of your videos. Can't wait to get started myself now. Best regards from the Netherlands

[@StayingCrafty]

I am really excited to watch the other parts of this video series. I'm brand new to scroll saw cutting and am so grateful you're starting with the absolute basics here. Thank you!

[@booboo8509]

Okay so I'm in Industrial Tech in school, and we were supposed to watch videos on scroll saws and stuff and i just wanted to tell you thank you for this vide. I learned quite a bit. Thanks again!

[@Scrollsawforum1]

boo boo Hey hey boo boo!...sorry couldn't resist ;-)...Your Welcome, I'm really glad my videos have helped you, thats why I made them. IScrolling is a great hobby and can bring out creativity in people that they might not have known they had. If you have any questions just shoot me an email [e-mail] Bob

[@robinpack1834]

Awesome! Just got my new Dewalt 788 scroll saw this week. Been practicing and enjoying it. Your videos are wonderful for beginners like me! Thanks for a great job!

[@Skeptic236]

Thanks also Bob for this most informative series. I wish I had seen your videos before I started scrollsawing; have given me an insight by a Master.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Thanks Michael, it's always nice to hear that my videos can even help experienced scrollers. Good luck and Happy Scrolling. Bob

[@fred306801]

I bought my scroll saw back before there was the internet. I have never been able to really do anything with it. Every once in awhile I would get a wild hair pull it out, break a few blades and put it back up. Last night I went to Lowe's and got some blades. Today I learned I got the wrong ones. I got the spiral blades, because I remember they were suppose to go in any direction. You did not say but I am thinking it must be for some really thin wood. I have to get some No. 3 blades. Thanks for making the video's ! I think they are going to help.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

+William Wynn Hey William, many people will use spiral blades for everything and love them, I don't. It's more of a personal preference. I prefer the smooth lines and edges that you get with flat blades. The only time I will use a spiral blade is for very large projects and that is rare. Any blade you can find #7 or below should work for you. I would not worry too much about the numbers until you figure out the direction your scrolling will take. Good Luck and Have Fun , Bob

[@fred306801]

+ScrollSawParadise Hey thanks for writing back ! I found some old blades. I am going to have to get me a magnifying glass. Gettin old suxs. I tried the wavy line, for the most part I stayed on line. But the end result was very rough. It would have needed a lot of sanding. I was cutting a 1 X 4 pine. Just wondering if another type of wood better ? Mainly I what I want to do is make a decorative design for things like bookshelves or cabinets. The more I look into the things you can make with the scroll saw the more it interests me. The fretwork , not sure what it is called but you cut out different shapes to make a picture.

[@MrBillmedhurst]

Very nicely explained. Also you showed some tips that the other vids don't show, for example I didn't know what kind of glue to use to stick plans to the product wood, also backing the blade up against its back side to make the 90 deg corner and all the rest. Thanks so much!

[@rlhyme1]

Sir that was one of the best beginner videos I've seen yet. I am very new to this scroll sawing , and your knowledge was very helpful. Thank you so much.

[@susanbostwick5537]

thanks Bob just got my first scrol saw big help thanks again Barry Bostwick

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Hey Barry, I missed your comment somehow, Congrats on the scroll saw and I hope you are having fun with it..Bob

[@katjehansen8760]

subscribed! your videos are very easy to watch and understand. I have printed the practice pattern and can't wait to get started!

[@Scrollsawforum1]

+KATJE HANSEN Thanks for the Sub, Now go get busy!...lol

[@johnfryer8794]

Some really helpful tips clearly explained and demonstrated. Thanks

[@thefirewooddoctor]

Have these videos saved to a playlist. Looks like a great way to relax and make a little extra $ in your spare time. Plus it takes up very little room in the garage or shop. Not all of us habe or can build a regular shop. Scroll saw work looks like it can be done anywhere you can build a work bench.

[@joshuamunoz5036]

Great job on teaching me these techniques

[@imareare1949]

Excellent informative and educational video for novice like me. All the three tutorials. God Bless You. rr.

[@mikepalmer8400]

Really helpful tutorial to a newbie like myself,thank you for posting

[@lizwynaco2222]

Excellent! I liked the drill press tips on drilling. Thanks!

[@mikesmukula482]

That was kool, I did not know about the backer board, learned some thing new today....Thank You! As well about the turning on the board for the scroll saw......

[@Mdb0514]

You are such a good teacher! Thanks for the video.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Michele Barbalet Aww, Thank's Michele, now I'm blushing!

[@StevenLarkin]

Thanks for sharing the free pattern to learn how to scroll :)

[@melissabarron1574]

Thank you great teaching!

[@EricaNernie]

Very helpful. I've learned a lot already. Thanks.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

I'm glad I could help, thanks for your comment...Bob

[@Le0n_2jz]

ScrollSawParadise we use these other saws at our school and they have them on max speed lol

[@Scrollsawforum1]

If you tell your teacher the benefits of slowing the saws down to 50-60% of max, longer blade life, easier to stay on your line and less wear and tear on the machine, maybe they will give you a better grade! Good luck and have fun with your schooling...Bob

[@OH-sv9hk]

Thanks Bob! I really appreciate your video. Very helpful getting started.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Thanks Orren! I really appreciate your comment. Have fun scrolling. Bob

[@randynoble8912]

[@jolonandrade8245]

This video was excellent. Thank you.

[@susandickson9869]

Thank you for your very informative video. I have a scroll saw and hoped to use it for cutting out multiple templates from foam core, however; most of my cuts are straight cuts - so I don't think this is my best choice. I am not great with a craft knife and will look for some other options.

[@johnfryer8794]

Some really helpful tips.Thanks

Attempting my first project - jack o lanterns. To cut out faces should I use a jig saw or go right to scroll saw? Thanks

[@rosebarrette6292]

Thank you these videos really help!

[@magsflute]

Clear and informative!

[@willyzook]

Thank you for this beginners series! Very, very helpful!

[@ToxicSmiles1]

Great video, great explanation.

[@Silverfiretwilight]

your beginner series is so incredibly helpful. thank you for taking the time to film, talk through basic things liek the drilling and post them! I also went through a couple of your practice sheets disastrously before I could finally finish the final

[@Scrollsawforum1]

+Yukino Thanks Yukino, I'm really glad you found my videos helpful. Congrats on completing the final exam, now go out and make some cool stuff!...Bob

[@ElitiaMazzoni]

Any recommendations or things to look out for when buying a scroll saw please? My kids will also be using it, ages 6 and 8. Maybe just things to look out for rather than recommending a certain product as I'm in South Africa and not sure if I'll get the brand here.

[@victoriasexton7809]

Very informative. Thank you so much!

[@deanking4442]

I've learnt something today thanks

[@MaineOutdoorsChannel]

how do like the Hegner scroll saw as compared to the Excaliber

[@cesarferrari3385]

thank you for this great tutorial! !

[@nskmda]

I obtained an older Dremel 57. It feels like it will jump off my workbench @ any second. Is it expected with older scrolls?

[@captainsuperfly]

Great video. Thank you.

[@josephduncan3549]

Great video, thanks so much

[@josoder]

Really interesting, thanks for a great tutorial. We have a Hegner Multicut which just humms when turned on. No movement in the mechanism. It´s too bad, and means we´re not able to use this great tool. Do you have any idea what could be wrong with it, based on that rather thin description?

[@petertinleg7718]

Very useful information thank you

[@timng1243]

Im in 7th grade in woodshop i broke the blade so i thought i would watch this so i can get more information thank you it helped a lot

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Tim Ng Hi Tim, I'm glad my video helped. I'm impressed that you are making this effort to figure out why the blade broke and try to resolve the problem. Good luck with wood shop and if you have any other problems or question please feel free to leave a comment. Bob Scroll Saw Paradise

[@stephenmayne4886]

Thanks for sharing this information.

[@dianispatino]

excellent video, I just want to know which "blue tape" you use to put on top of the wood?

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Hi Diane, Thanks! As far as the blue (or green) painters tape, any brand will work. I should have said this in the video, there are several different tapes you can use, packing tape and masking tape work as well, just to name a few.

[@onegoodcupofjoe]

Very helpful, THANK YOU!

[@albatros1emilio]

i'm using scroll saw a bit over a month already and i kind of got used with it. ive made some easy and difficult projects too, but today i had to use an 25 teeth per inch saw blade and the blade keeps turning left and right while i cut. it didnt happen to me before and doesnt happen with thicker blade as well. can you please tell what i might be doing wrong? maybe i should try to tighten a bit more? i released it when i started to use 127mm blades as i couldnt find 133mm what fits to my scroll saw, but the machine allows me to use shorter blades by releasing a nut.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

+emiljan alhysa This is a problem I have also had when using very small 2/0 blades. You need to tighten the tension as much as you can without breaking the blade, that might help. The better thing to do, if you can, is to use a size #1 blade instead. I stopped buying 2/0 blades because of the problems you are having and I find that everything I thought I needed to do with a 2/0 blade, I can do with a #1 just as well and without the frustration. I'm sure that's not what you want to hear, but it is what it is.

[@albatros1emilio]

+ScrollSawParadise thank you very much for your advice.

[@suziebell59]

I've always wanted to do scroll cutting and I finally have the room, time and money to buy the saw and give it a go. Is there any brand or other equipment I should get?

[@theentertainmentchannel5347]

Hi there, hopefully some one can answer my question. I have a scroll saw that uses 133mm blades. Can I replace them with 130mm ones or it won't work?

[@Scrollsawforum1]

No worries, the 130's will work fine...Bob

[@theentertainmentchannel5347]

Thank you so much. That's the answer I was hoping to get :)

Hi, awesome channel! i would like to get into scroll saw, im a graphic designer but i never worked with wood before. I was wondering if you can help me to get a basic scroll saw. i live in Aruba, little island in the Caribbean sea, so is very hard to find variety. The models they have available here are this ones: Rockwell RK7315 Shop Series 16-Inch/ Skil 3335-07-RT 1.2 Amp 16 in./ Makita SJ401... Well, i hope you can help me with my scroll saw. Thanks in advance. Best regards

[@miriamm.4620]

Is it safe to attempt to turn curves too short for the blade🤓🤓🤓

[@rayrainer985]

I was wondering why there are no attachment on a scroll saw to cut a perfect straight line? Things like a band saw has to make straight cuts. i.e., rip fence, miter gauge. Is there a reason it doesn't have any? Or even are there scrolls saws that have a rip fence/miter gauge? I certainly haven't seen any.

[@Scrollsawforum1]

Watch part 2 and your question will be answered...Bob
