Thanks Dick for welcoming me to the village

Barbara, I guess you are lucky, most probably no teachers here, even if there are, who cares, as long as we convey messages that is what matters. I ahve bought Martlet scroll saw, Ryobi rival Well, we are here to have some fun, and that is what counts. We are not able to get as the others, but lets se what we can do with what we have. I am not scroll sawer as the most of people here, I wanted to make some lamps, as that is what I did many years ago, so, I got scroll saw to make easyer to make lamps. On the other hand, my girlfriend loves scroll sawing and she is busy making some Christmas ornaments. Specifficaly names... I am "perfectionist" looking for some perfect lamp idea, still did not found it

I am not sure, initially I thought that Excalibur was very good, I liked quick release mechanism...

If you talking about price range, it was about $500, but as I said, hardware here is very limited... it is not as advanced as in US...

Hello Ike, Thanks for the reply I have bought Martlet already. Initially I was thinking to buy Excalibur, but it is impossible to buy it in South Africa, which is frustrating...

Thinks Phil, I got Martlet already...

I did contact her, but still no concrete answer. Sue mentions Hegner saw, which I couldn't find yet, but seams to me it is very expensive saw... Quite a bit out of my price range...

Why would I need patterns if I don't have saw yet... Thanks for the link, nice patterns!

Hello all, I am looking into Scrolling, and lately I was researching a lot what Scrolling is concerned. Seams to me that South Africa is very short of good quality makes. Before I give up Scrolling as a possibility of nice hobby, I decided to ask this community, is someone can help me with information where could I get it from, and which is the good make. So far I find available these models available in South Africa: 1. Dremel 70W, a bit weak... 2. Scheppach Scroll Saw (SD 1600), possibly good, I think problem with release mechanism, and some odd problem see video on YouTube "Scheppach Deco 405 V scrollsaw trying to kill me", also possibly very noisy... 3. RYOBI1600W Scroll Saw, I guess problem with release mechanism, and may others that I have seen as negative reports on Amazon, also I think it is noisy... I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I would appreciate, if someone can come with some suggestion or comment Best regards Srdjan
