My kids have grown up and gone to a different city, where their jobs have taken them. Now my wife and myself are left in the house. I am a furniture designer and I have a workshop where I go to work. So my wife wanted to do something interesting and useful during the day instead of sitting and watching the T.V. the whole day.  So I bought her a Dremel moto saw. I taught her a few things, but the best part is she was impressed with your video tutorials and is now taking active interest in learning the scroll saw. Thank you for simple and clear instructions. Thanks once again.

I'm usually very disappointed with YouTube "tutorial" videos because most are clueless on how to present information in a way that can be absorbed by the viewer without having to replay the video, but watching your video has been a real treat, very well done, patiently delivered and slowly demonstrated for the viewer to grasp the first time. I'm very happy to have picked your video as my first "how to scroll" tutorial for beginners. Just in this video alone I learned something that happened to me yesterday when practicing on my new scroll saw, I drilled holes and tore the backs of them and thought maybe I should use a larger drill. Now I know exactly what I did wrong! I can't wait to view your other videos, and before I forget, THANK YOU for taking time to teach us on the web how to use equipment properly, its very much appreciated.

Hubby just bought me my first scroll saw....YAY!....so I'm watching your vids before trying some practice cuts in preparation for the first project using the new saw. Thanks for thinking of all the newbies out here!

Hey Bob, thank you so much for the tutorial in Part 1 of your scroll saw series regarding the drilling of a hole without tear out on the board. As an novice that only uses drills infrequently, I wish I had known this technique many times in the past. Look forward to Part 2 of the series.

Thanks for posting. Years ago I bought a brand new Hitachi CW40. Due to health reasons, about that time, it has never been out of the box. Looks like maybe I should open it up.

Great beginner tutorial--especially for someone who has never used saws or power tools at all! Thank you!

Have these videos saved to a playlist. Looks like a great way to relax and make a little extra $ in your spare time. Plus it takes up very little room in the garage or shop. Not all of us habe or can build a regular shop. Scroll saw work looks like it can be done anywhere you can build a work bench.

Very nicely explained. Also you showed some tips that the other vids don't show, for example I didn't know what kind of glue to use to stick plans to the product wood, also backing the blade up against its back side to make the 90 deg corner and all the rest. Thanks so much!

I just got the scroll sew for my Christmas gift. I love your video and show how to practice cutting wood skills. Thank you very much for sharing! Happy New Year!

I am really excited to watch the other parts of this video series.  I'm brand new to scroll saw cutting and am so grateful you're starting with the absolute basics here.  Thank you!

I just bought a brand new scroll saw for art projects. The video was great ! I can't wait to do my first project. I'm going to practice first and the back board is a excellent idea, no tear/always!.:) thanks again !

[debbielee]

I am new at this and your video gave me a much better understanding of the saw. Thank you

[joshuamunoz]

Great job on teaching me these techniques

I bought my scroll saw back before there was the internet. I have never been able to really do anything with it. Every once in awhile I would get a wild hair pull it out, break a few blades and put it back up. Last night I went to Lowe's and got some blades. Today I learned I got the wrong ones. I got the spiral blades, because I remember they were suppose to go in any direction. You did not say but I am thinking it must be for some really thin wood. I have to get some No. 3 blades. Thanks for making the video's ! I think they are going to help.

[Skeptic]

Thanks also Bob for this most informative series. I wish I had seen your videos before I started scrollsawing; have given me an insight by a Master.

Okay so I'm in Industrial Tech in school, and we were supposed to watch videos on scroll saws and stuff and i just wanted to tell you thank you for this vide. I learned quite a bit. Thanks again!

[robinpack]

Awesome!  Just got my new Dewalt 788 scroll saw this week.  Been practicing and enjoying it.  Your videos are wonderful for beginners like me!  Thanks for a great job!

[RienDekker]

Perfect teaching, thanks sir! Very clear, great real-life examples and this goes for all of your videos. Can't wait to get started myself now. Best regards from the Netherlands
