General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: Scrolling with Parkinson's ?

« on: February 18, 2018, 05:28:02 pm »

I'm 79 with neuropathy in my hands and feet. I'm left handed and my left hand has tremors but I can still scroll. I think the worst that can happen is for the blade to nick a finger which is only minor. My hands are supported by the table making the hand steady.

OK thanks

I am just back from taking the saw over to my daughters , They will take it to Colin ( Son in laws dad ) next weekend
I have given them the basic run down on how the saw works and blade changes wtc

Please its working out for you

Hi

My son in laws father has Parkinson's and I was wondering if its a good idea to lend him a scroll saw ,

He likes doing things in his shed , He is up for trying it ,

Im more concerned if he injures himself

Anyone offer any advice on this please ?

I had one of the first EX30 machines and it stopped working within days , The early machines had problems with the wafer thin wiring breaking , Hopefully on the later models its now sorted
Sold my machine on as I had no confidence in it

Hello times 2 

I was a forum user some time ago , Life and work pressures got in the way leading to not much spare time , I forgot my provious forum name ? Maybe  Londoner ?

Anyway I have re registered as SS Novice , Yes I am trying to learn

Off to pick up a better saw tomorrow so I am all keen now

I will have a go at Steves Band pattern , I am also a big music lover so this project if it turns out OK will be for me in my music room 

Hope you are all well and enjoying this absorbing hobby / business

Regards

Allen
