When I bought my Hegner in 1998 at a wood working show here in Jersey,the salesman was advertising the saw as one that you could not cut yourself on.Of course he did not demonstrate it by using his fingers.I have been very lucky not to ever cut myself on my scroll saw,but i did several time on a band saw,that really hurts.

I don't know what happened but I didn't get to finish my comment when it got away from me.Anyway that guy in his apartment said he would set up his saw in his kitchen
by a window.I can't imagine what happend to all the sawdust,but he was a heck of a great scroller.
I use the bottom part of a pizza box and line it with wax paper,then I put in my pattern then lay the box on a bucket in the middle of my garage.After I remove the pattern I let the wax paper dry and then I can use it several more times.No glue on the work bench,tools or the floor.
