Thank you everyone! I purchased a local German brand called Scheppach. No idea if it is good or not at this point, but fit the budget at the time and figured to start out, it would work. Scroll Saw Deco XL Scheppach with Foot switch - 230-240V 50Hz 125W - 50mm NEW STANDARDS FOR MODEL AND HOBBY. PRECISE OR COMPLICATED CUTS ON WOOD, PLASTIC, METAL, PLEX GLAS OR PLASTER ARE CHALLENGES FACED BY THOSE MAKING MODELS AND HANDICRAFT WORKERS. Cutting height / depth: 50 / 406 mm Saw blade length 127 mm Table adjustment 45 ° Variable speed 550-1600 min-1 One-step design – press once to turn on, release to turn off LED light and foot pedal switch comes standard Accepts pin blades and plain end blades Quick release blade tension knob allows quick and easy blade change Nearly vibration free, allowing you to work with precision for professional looking results Blower keeps the working area free of dust

I am so amazed by the TALENT that is in this group!!!! After looking through the galleries and samples, wow... scares the living daylights out of me. If I can learn half of what you all have already forgotten, I will be doing great. !

Hi Jean-Claude! Wow, your English is "magnifique" !!! Hope to learn from you as well!

I am in Miesau, near Ramstein Air Base, in the Kaiserslautern area.

I am so new, my scroll saw machine hasn't even arrived yet! So total NEWBIE, to scroll sawing, and extremely interested in learning. In waiting on my machine to arrive, I searched YouTube and found Scroll Saw Goodies page, and enjoyed the tutorials. I knew I just had to join this site and learn from the best. Originally from the great state of IOWA, but during my active duty service in Germany, I met a German girl. Well, that is the end of that long story. So anyway, I now live in Germany, but with my global travels, I get back home now and then to visit family/friends. My goals are to not only learn how to use my saw machine, but to combine it with other hobbies to end up with unique products.
