New guy from NW Florida
« on: May 27, 2013, 02:19:43 pm »
Howdy guys!  I finally got off my duff and registered!   Im just another new scroller. 

At the moment I have a Boat Anchor / Future Fishing Reef of a scroll saw so I have been doing all the reading I can until I can get my DW788  ::)

(I hold Steve responsible for the DeWalt decision!)  I was on the fence about going with something cheaper, but after the frustrations in trying to find parts for a Chinese made saw sold by a company in Australia that has gotten out of the SS business several years back, I wanted something that I know will hold its value and has a good parts supply/repair chain available.  So.. by the first of the month I should be ordering my new saw!

Im stuck here in the armpit of Florida trying to stay cool until the fall and slowly trying to build up a home scroll saw hobby workshop and keep the cat out of the blades!

Got a DW788 for last Christmas and love it.  Glad to see you here.  I'm up in Wi and keep my saw in the basement so it's cooler in summer and warmer in winter.  Welcome aboard.   Pete
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.
