Build your own scroll saw from plywood and miscellaneous parts available at any hardware store. This project is designed after an antique English scroll saw, and so inherits the same characteristics - It has simple mechanics, it builds leg muscles, and will cut the softer woods up to 3/8" with relative ease. It is a fun project to build and would be perfect to take to the craft shows to draw a crowd to your booth. Use standard 5" pinless scroll saw blades.
