Jacobo is da man! He must have a right arm like Popeye's! That is so awesome that he does that without an electric saw. Unbelievable!

I agree Janet. It is amazing he does that by hand. He has perseverance, patients and determination to do that by hand. Would not even consider doing it. ::)

That was the way ALL scrolling and fret work was done before electricity was invented.
Have you ever seen some really old work done on a piece of furniture?
I watched a demo on TV one time of a guy learning in France to do that type of work the old way. Even intarsha was done like that.

Take a look at the Victorian Gingerbread on houses. It was popular from say 1880 until the late '20's. Most was likely made on a treadle saw, and a lot of it was true 4" thick fir. See San Francisco and Port Townsend for two areas with a lot if surviving gingerbread.
