There is nothing wrong with a good, honest coping saw but while shaping some wood for a turning project I found myself thinking an electric scroll saw sure would be nice. I started asking around, looking for a used one.
For some reason I looked in the barn loft - there was the scroll saw I bought at a yard sale and stuck up there maybe 10 years ago. An old Craftsman, it even had some blades in the tray. I cleaned off the dust, downloaded the manual, and adjusted and lubed everything - it cuts 1/4" Cocobolo just fine.
If I owe anyone wood or money or promised I'd leave them all my lathes in my will please remind me before it's too late. :)
