Got Started with a Pedal Powered Jigsaw

[Charlie001]

Hello Forum Members


I love old tools and all my stationary power tools are used and most are from the 40s, 50s and 60s and are belt driven.

I started with jig saws at age 6 with my Dad's childhood Barrnes Velocipede type jigsaw. My brother has the saw now.
I have two 18 inch Sears, Roebuck jig saws (103.0407), one since 1974. I also have a jig saw attachment for my old Magna Shopsmith 10ER.

I just picked up an old Delta 24 inch scroll saw (believed to be from the 1940's, no model number, SN 10-3095) at a church benefit sale in April 2012. It’s a little rusty and was leaking oil but all the parts are there. I enjoy restoring old tools and look forward to sharing information on fixing them up.

Charlie -- Welcome to the forum. I like old tools too -- partly because that is what I inherited. But I do have a newer scroll saw. Love to see pics of your old tools.
