Wow! That is truly amazing. Never tried a spiral yet. Will have to look into them.

Very impressive. My wife has Dementia. I will most certainly make a donation to Dementia Support. -
Thanks for the replies. I like to test myself. Rockytime.......I used to work in a Diesel engine manufacturing company. I was in Q.C. I would take a sample of fuel pumps from the suppliers, mount them on a test rig and check them. Mainly for fuel delivery.....smoke emissions etc. i had to take early retirement from work due to foot problems. i bought a turning lathe and made pens, bowls, clocks etc. I have now graduated to a scrollsaw. Enjoying it very much. Here is a picture of my turning. 750 segments. Stands about 12” tall. Very slow job making those! Barry.

I have been trying various blades and I quite like Niqua. I am at present using Niqua #1 and am getting on quite well with them. I thought I read somewhere they are made by the same company who make Flying Dutchman? I have tried Flying Dutchman but just can’t get used to them. I also like Pegas blades. The MG ones work for me. barry.

Thanks for all the welcome messages. I have been “lurking” for a little while and finally managed to introduce myself. Will post a picture when I get something done I like. I think we are all our own worst critics. Barry.

Good evening, My name is Barry, I am from the UK. I am 80 years old, been turning for a while but just recently bought a scrollsaw. I have a Hegner multicut2 vs. I have cut a few Steve Good patterns. Very addictive hobby. I use mainly ply ( not Baltic birch) second mortgage job here in the UK! It is very difficult too to get wood in the sizes needed over here. Have to buy boards and plane down. Hope to post a picture soon of my humble beginnings.
