    Maybe you can find the issue you need here (kind of pricey)! I've used eBay for cooking magazines that my wife likes. https://www.ebay.com/b/Creative-Woodworks-Indiana-Magazine-Back-Issues/280/bn_7022375490

    Keeping your dad involved with wood working but on a safer scale is a great idea. It keeps hands and mind active. As for the saw, and I am far from an expert and no RBI experience, if it runs without problems, I say it would be a good investment. You can always swap out the motor but in the meantime, your dad will have fun. I wish you both well.

    Craftsman 16 inch. Pretty heavy little unit. Never had a problem. Sold it after a couple years when I got the Excalibur.

    I started scrolling while still in the army on a small craftsman pin type saw. Not having much free money, I snagged old pallets being thrown out and used the boards for a lot of small projects as well as learning to do inside cuts, lettering and the like. Pallets can have some nice wood. Not always of uniform thickness but a little hand plane or belt sander can even things up. Very inexpensive way to develop the skill.

    Good evening. At approx the 4:45 mark, there is some discussion about differences. I hope it helps.

    I do use my hold down but infrequently. Most of the time it is up and out of the way but ready when necessary.
