Hello

[mark.chapmon]

Hello to all . My name is Mark and I'm disabled person in wheelchair from bad wreck some years back. I did do a/c work for a living until wreck. I still do things but what would take hour are to takes several hours. But figure out way to do stuff. I have been working since high school 9th grade year. I took building trades in school. I worked in machine shop field as well. I just got another scroll saw used from church member. Just need to get legs for it and can cut from chair.



I moved your thread to a more appropriate forum to maximize traffic and get you more responses to your post/request/question.

Hi Mark and welcome!

You should have a lot of fun with the scrollsaw. Many people prefer cutting sitting down and it shouldn't be hard to set up a stand with wheelchair clearance. I find it works better with the rear of the saw tilted up a bit rather than level; if you're building a stand you may want to do that.

Have you thought about which sorts of projects you plan to make?

Yes I got stand at Harbor Freight and works out great scolling from wheelchair. My scoll saw long time ago used both types of blades pin and flat. This one which Delta only use flat. Going to try spiral saw blades as well.

mark, i am disabled also , lost my left hand in an accident, the way i figure it , is when you see the beauty of the work you turn out and the relaxation of doing it, time is of no importance. and the inspiration you instill into others is priceless
