Title: foot pedaled scrollsaw
Post by: scrollriffic on April 22, 2010, 05:33:07 pm

I was in War Eagle,Mo a couple of years ago and a man and wpman had a scroll saw booth there that had a scroll saw that he made for her.You pedaled it like a bicycle and it worked really good.I would like to get in touch with them about making one for me. If anyone has any info about them please let me know. I had a card they gave me but like a dummy I lost it. Thanks. Bobby

I remember talking to them, she did the scolling & he manned the register, real nice couple. Don't remember where they were from, she told me she got the saw from her father & he had used it for years before she took it. Do remember she did real nice work on it. Always wished I had a picture of her on it, but I don't take a camera to craft shows (considered bad behavior). Jerry H.    Monett, MO

Not to get off the subject here, I never realized or even thought about craft shows and cameras being a no-no... Thanks for that little tid-bit... much appreciated!!
