Hello from near Utica NY

Hi, My name is Mike. I bought a Dremel 1680 off craigslist today for $50. I know they've been discontinued but, I wanted to get in to this as cheaply as I could. It's in pretty good shape and the guy that owned it used it right up until yesterday. He replaced it with a Hitachi that has a more powerful motor. I've never used a scroll saw and the projects that I'm interested in are wooden gear clocks. I hope I have the patience and skill to make them. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Most forums that I'm on I at least know something about what's being discussed. This is totally uncharted territory.

I'm looking forward to an enjoyable hobby and new friends
