    Back in the dawn of home computers (anybody remember 64K start up disks and Dos?) I had the misfortune to date a techy nerd from Radio Shack. The only good thing I remember from that relationship was him whispering in my ear: "Back up! Back up! Back up your data!"

    Does anyone have a good idea for wood storage for scroll saw-sized wood? As scrollers, we use small pieces of wood and sometimes really thin wood and (if like me) we hoard smaller pieces for the next possible project than, say, a furniture maker might . All those smallish pieces really add up, and I can't figure out a good and efficient way to keep them on hand without towering piles of cutoffs!

    Hi, y'all! Something I've found helps is to keep a wooden skewer in my apron pocket. If the piece is too small and my finger obstructs the view while I'm cutting, the pointy end can hold the down the piece and give me a clearer view -- and if it gets in the way of the blade it isn't as exciting as if it was a metal awl or ice pick! They are also great for poking out little pieces of wood in small cuts. This may be a bad thing (let me know if it hurts the saw), but when I'm cutting sharp corners or curves (like Scott and Harvey puzzle pieces), I slow down and pull the wood straight toward me as I round the curve. I figure it gives the saw a little more time to make the cut and not curve the cut from top to bottom. Thanks for all the great advice! Kathy
