Ok...

So I have some woodwork I will be doing...my family knows I like to make things that are interesting and fun. But I work with hand power tools, and have just now gotten to a point where I have room for table based equipment...so the list is growing of things to spend money on...

An interesting request came from my cousin...he's in a frat in college, as a sophmore...you know all the fun frat things college kids do. Well he's been asked by the president of the local chapter to look into creating paddles for each member of the frat, as a presentation gift when they graduate...

And as I'm the only one in the family who enjoys woodwork, he thought of me...ain't that nice!

So, my original thought was to get a scroll saw, as those seem to do that sort of work...but someone popped up and told me I should look at a band saw instead...

So I guess I'm confused, what are the different applications of each saw?

Thanks,

Jeff
