Well, got back from having our taxed done tonight and while we were fully expecting a nice refund, Uncle Sam was nice to us again and while I had no particular direction for the money, I do have a machine that I have been slightly intrigued about for a while and I want to get some opinions.
I am thinking of buying a nice scroll saw. Now, the way I'm thinking, the scroll saw isn't an "everyday" machine that you would use in the normal woodworking shop. It is more, again - to my way of thinking - a specialty machine that does certain things, but does them well. You can really dress some projects up with what you can turn out on a scroll saw. And you can really do some nice Christmas ornaments with a scroll saw. It presents an opportunity to experiment with a different avenue of woodworking. But would the money expended for a upper level scroll saw be worth it?
There would be no problem finding another way to upgrade the shop with the kind of money I would spend on the scroll saw. But the machine does intrigue me and I think it would be some fun. I'm looking for some advice, either way, from those out there who have and/or use scroll saws. Also, what are some ideas of what the possibilities are.
