Introduce Yourself. / Super Newbie

« on: January 14, 2021, 10:13:22 pm »

Hello Everyone! I say I am a super newbie as I have actually never used a scroll saw in my life up until a week ago. I just always wanted one due to all the cool things I have seen people make. I don't really have any experience in woodworking other than trying (keyword being TRYING, hahaha) to make a simple shelf to put some small stuff off the floor in my tiny little corner of the garage/workshop. But I am in LOVE with scroll sawing. I made a little wall decor thing for my daughter using a coloring book page and then I found this site and can't wait to make them. I do have a question though, what are some ways you all use to keep the dust down. While I was working my wife came and told me she could just taste sawdust. I tried hooking it up to a shop vac but the noise from the vac was unbearable and sucked my fun out too. I am unfortunately on a very low budget but any tips, tricks, hacks anything would be of great use. I appreciate it all!
