The saw I bought was a Master Mechanic 15". Apparently these are sold by True Value hardware stores, but the newer models look nothing like the one I bought on CraigsList. The guy I bought it from inherited it from his dad and it was still in the original box. The manual was also in the box and even had the original purchase receipt in it from 1991! There were also about 80 blades in all sorts of sizes, both pin and plain end, as well as the adapter to be able to use either type on this saw. It has a little surface discoloration on the table, but nothing I can't recondition with a little wire brush and fine sandpaper.

Thank you again for all the welcomes! I have been admiring the beautiful work shown by you awesome crafters!!!

Thanks for the welcomes thus far. I've already downloaded the practice patterns and look forward to (hopefully) get some practice in this weekend. My honey-do list is quite extensive though so I may have to sneak out into the garage after everyone's alseep

Scrolling is something I've been dreaming about for a long, long time. I've watched many, many videos and dreamed through pages of patterns. The delay has been 100% financial as I never was able to wrangle up enough cash to get the kind of saw I wanted. This week I found a listing on Craigslist for an older saw that I'm sure most of you wouldn't bother messing with, but for $30 I picked it up and inside the box were probably about $80 worth of blades. Anyhow, I've already had fun playing with it and am planning to sit down to make something real very soon.
