Glad to join the group. I had a old Sears scroll saw for several year and never really used it until I retired 2 years ago. I got hooked! Follow the line! Now, I have to have some project in the works all the time. This summer I finally retired the Sears for a Excaliber. What a difference! Thumb screw blade tightening and really quiet! I have been building several types of boxes (scroller designs) and various plaques. I was working with padauk but dust was not good. Also use Bubinga, oak and ,of course, Birch Plywood. Interested to hear from other members what type of woods they have worked with.
