theyre hard to find round these parts.

the only one I know...

(when someone thinks that scroll-saws are dangerous...)

"Yes, you could surely cut-off a finger with this thing... but you'd have to change the blade to finish the job"

does anyone else know one?

I have drawn blood twice in 15+ years. Cutting really small parts and being too close to the blade, I sneezed. The other was just not paying attention to where both hands were in relation to the blade.

I haven't been scrolling anywhere near that long, but learned quickly that using a blade long past its replacement time resulted in a dull blade getting past a grain line and jumping through relatively softer wood, usually to the detriment of the pattern.....although buffing a fingernail on the blade caused me to sit back and rethink the cost of each individual blade versus the shame of having to explain to the wife why I needed a BandAid.....

The last one I read recently is something like:  "Like whirlpools, if you live North of the Equator you alwasy scroll counterclockwise, and if you live South of the Equator you scroll clockwise."  

Not sure if it is a joke, but more like a trueism!
