Not new to the scroll saw, but new to learning to use it correctly. I'm working my way through Nelson's Workbook and enjoying it very much. Retired, on limited income, I'm working with a Ryobi 164VS. Before you start sympathizing and telling me I'll be upgrading soon... I'm posting a picture of my saw in it's current configuration. I fabricated the pieces parts and it seems to work very well. No problem with blade retention and the tension doesn't need to be reset very often. Looking forward to learning much more about scrollsawing.

by NC ScrollerI often resize just to fit the size of the wood I have on hand. I agree this is a no win situation because of the various software, hardware differences plus the skill level of us, the end users. Even providing the patterns in a digitized format will no fix this because of the reasons I already mentioned....

by RolfJohn your original post is a valid question. It is a simple thing to put in the original scale assuming that it was on the original drawing. As a minimum the size of the material required can be stated, although that has been a confusion for folks that have built the clock projects. I field a lot of...

I enjoy the challenge of cutting a project...-
