Paul, Baseball is not my thing either. I set up at the local Farmer's Market every Saturday morning. I try to make a wide variety of things. Sports and pets do the best for me.............We don't have a pet either but I make a lot of pet projects.
During the summer months we live in central Illinois. There are a lot of Cubs and Cardinals fans. I purchased the flag baseball pattern from Wooden Teddy Bear and added the team logos.
I too am definitely going to buy a new saw this fall. A few hundred dollars is not enough to sway my decision. Noooo way would I purchase one without test driving it. I am going to the Midwest scroll saw show in August to check them out.
