    After a 20+ year hiatus, I'm blowing the dust off the DeWalt 788 and getting back into scrolling. Now that I'm retired there's plenty of time for the things that I enjoy doing and the scroll saw is moving higher up on the list of my priorities, right up there with fishing and target/trap shooting and relearning how to play the guitar. I started scrolling in the early 1990s on a hand-me-down Dremel that used 3 1/2" pin end blades then a 16" Delta. After wearing that saw out, I moved up to my DeWalt. Then life and work got in the way and scrolling wasn't so important anymore. But that is now changing. I'm very happy to find a forum with such experienced scrollers eager to share their ideas with each other. That technology was still in its infancy back then and I depended on magazines like Creative Woodworks & Crafts and later ScrollSaw Woodworking. Luckily, I lived near Fox Chapel Publishing at the time and still have all the books and magazines that I accumulated from their scratch and dent room. I even attended some of their early annual picnics in the Lancaster PA area and met some of the experts of that time like John Nelson and Dirk Boelman. Now, if I could just remember half of what I used to know about this hobby ... Jack
