  1. Hah! Found a manual. Different model/name but same saw with a slightly different RPM range on the dial. Yeah!!
  2. Thanks for all the advice and encouragement. I hope to get set up and started Sunday. Someone asked what saw I was using. It's a Tool Shop MQ60 Variable Speed 22" Scroll Saw. It takes pinned end blades. I've been in touch with the folks at Wooden Teddy Bear about blades. I am going to pick some up locally because I want to tinker Sunday. I'll also be looking for some scrap wood. I only wish I had a manual for the saw. I'm still looking online. I've designed a project using Publisher I'd like to do for my wife but it's probably too ambitious right away. Years ago I was a graphic deisgner working in advertising so I am also interested in working on designing some stuff. Thanks again for all the help!!
  3. Thanks for all the welcomes and encouragement! I hope to set the saw up and play around Sunday. I'm on call Saturday so I can't tinker with the saw then, although I can look for patterns and do some reading.
  4. Just joined and looking forward to starting scrolling. I bought a used scroll saw this summer. Another scroller (is that a term?) told me, after I bought it, it's older and may have some vibration issues but it'll work to give it a go. I am still making room for it in the garage. I am wondering what other tools I may need to get started. I do not have a drill press for making guide/starter holes but thought I'd try to find a used Dremel for that. Any thoughts or advice for a beginner just starting out would be greatly appreciated. Ideas for wood sources? Blade choice/use? Thanks!
  5. I found this and a couple other forums. I was introduced to scroll sawing by an older gentleman in a church in Northeast Iowa. Always wanted to give it a try.
