2 of my mentors are women scrollers. One started in the 70's and she is still at it. I just bought 6 patterns from her this morning.

Great tips Tyler. 👍 When you get older like me you might want to check out the lighted clamp on desk magnification light at Harbor Freight. It’s took me a couple of days to get used to it but the visibility was tremendous. Now I can’t scroll without it.

Lots of Great tips Tyler. There are lots of great people on FB to help you on your personal journey in scroll sawing. If you have questions, just ask.

This was a great video and very helpful again Tyler!!

Totally agree with being comfortable. Thanks for everything.

I have a dust mask handy at all times. The scroll saw makes really fine dust and we don't want to breathe that fine dust in.

Very positive attitude toward this art. Thank you.

Simple but POWERFUL Tips. THANK YOU

Thanks Mr Pirate! Very helpful video. Lots of great tips. Fascinated especially with your 3D scrolling videos. Your enthusiasm with the hobby is infectious!

Great Info man..just got an old delta 16" , love to see your enthusiasm for your craft. Lots of experience too.. thanks 🙏

I use both a bandsaw with a 1/8 blade and a scroll saw, instead of using a file to round over the back of the blade on both saws . I use a sharpening stone that you can buy at a dollar store . my stones are about 1''wide -3''long -1\2''' thick. for the cost of them , I all ways have a few around . BIG THUMBS UP !!!!!!

Thanks I'm in the UK and and a grandmother. Thanks for your advice

Thanks for this video. I am new to scrolling and these tips help. I especially like the tilt & bucket tip and the reference to the blades! !! !!!

Thanks for sharing those yips and ideas!

Thank you for the friendly advice and you really encouraged me to get started

It's me again. Thanks this video is soooo helpful. Your the best. Kind regards Cindy Harrison xxx

Great tips! I will be ordering that catalog. Also use my old iPod touch 4 when I scroll.

Thanks chap. I'm new to scroll saws and just purchased a 2nd hand saw from ebay UK . Its trial and error at the moment , but shocked how time flies . I sit on an oversize gym ball , helps keep my spine neutral , great tips 🇬🇧

I have tried scroll saw. I have done a couple of small projects. Thanks for the advice.

I just order spiral scroll saw blades too ! I have not used them before. That is the next thing on my list.🤗🤗🤗

Thanks so much!!

Good tips. Thanks for sharing 👍

I'm pretty much set up the same as you. I like that magazine too and hope more people look into it. I sometimes stand and sometimes sit. So I haven't figured out yet the best angle for the saw. Also I never seem to remember to file the back of the blade lol. Your advice is very sound!. I did though add a LED magnifier to my stand. But that's probably not for everyone Question. Have you ever printed or drawn out your patterns in red ink? It shows up beautifully against a black blade. I always design my patterns in red. If you haven't try it. Enjoyed your video. Take care!

Great video. I have been scrolling for 20 years, mostly since retirement in 2006 but I do not file the back of the blade. I will now.

Awesome tips & tricks Tyler just started scrolling myself on an old Dremel 16 inch i was Given. I got a foot switch recently it helps alot. Love the inclined saw tip I'll be trying that soon Thank you. I Subbed to your Channel 👍🙂

Thanks for the info! I always enjoy your videos.

Naked to the human eye, LOL, invisible to the human eye sounds better, ya dope. hehe

Just found your channel. And subscribed ;-) Anyhow I can for second the tip on the foot pedal. I used a Dewalt for 10 yrs without one. Never saw the need in it and thought I wouldn’t like it. Bought a new King scroll saw last year and it came with one. Now I do t know how I ever lived without one lol Keep up the good work

Hi there Artisan Pirate , Pete Roberts from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada . When a lady asks me if she could use a scroll saw , I ask them can they use a sewing machine . I say they are pretty much the same . I give them a business card a suggest if they have questions , call me . Just one more tip for you to use!!!!

Great information. Thanks

Nice video, my friend 🙂

I like the idea of the forward tilt on your saw. It's a little difficult to tell how much of an angle is working for you. It looks to be rather steep, maybe 35 - 40 degrees? I have a great table with my saw mounted to it, maybe I can just figure a way to add some lift to the rear legs. Thank you for your encouragement well done! I am also a Steve Good fan.

Very cool. I am just starting and you have alot of great tips. Going to watch more of your videos

Loved this... Subscribing! Useful, to the point. Great attitude!

👍❤️

Really great tips!

Don't forget a work light (which the Delta does not have) to luminate the work space. Comes in real handy for us 80 year olds. :) :)

Great tips. Have been looking at scroll saws. A friend has a 15" jet for sale hardly used $100.00. Will see?

Awesome tips do you have a link to the delta scroll saw

My question is and maybe you can help me. I have been having trouble with my blades. The wood I use is a birch 1/2 wood and blade I use is #5 skip reverse tooth. I use a porter-cable scroll saw. When I am cutting my blades breaks and when I stop I see below that the blade is bent over at the bottom and another thing to my blades slide out of the grips even though I tighten them tightly. Blades are expensive and for it to be breaking all the time it’s getting old. Can you tell me what is going on or what wrong? Thank you for your help.

Some great tips there have used them all love that delta scroll saw I wonder do they deliver to Ireland

I was wondering about what angle do you have scroll saw at.

Great video; many good tips. Question? where did you find the pattern for the scroll saw man leaning up against the "I turn wood" sign? Thanks for informative video.

p.s forgot to say, great vid.

Cool video. Keep scrolling, friend. 🤙

Great channel! Can you give me the website for Scroller magazine?

Really great tips AP .Thank you. I have a Porter-Cable scrollsaw and I cannot get pinless blades to stay in. Any thoughts on where to look for help/tips?

Tyler I've got an old 1987shopcraft 15" scroll saw I can't find any info on it ..it runs great it's painless and the blades I've found seems to be too thin the block will not tighten down on blade...any info would be greatly appreciated..

Brother, I just got my scroll saw last week and I don't know why I waited so long. This is already a passion of mine, I do have 1 question, as I said, I'm new to scrolling, my wood starts to bounce up and down rapidly and has broken a couple of my projects. My wood is 3/8 to 1/2 inch walnut, birch, and I believe some pine. What hits you if you are troubleshooting jumping up and down? Thanks, man

Have you tried blue painters tape and spray glue i used to use packing tape but on close cuts some times the tape and pattern will tear and then you are in trouble.

Thank you very much for the info. Is it possible to put the link for your magazine i'm unable to find it ?

Know where I can get the top quick release for my old Delta ?

what and the height of your work table

I live in Adelaide Australia can anyone recommend a magazine for scrolling I am a complete novice and Santa is bringing me a scroll saw for Christmas merry Christmas everyone

boy you can waffle in the beginning, you make my teeth hurt.

Thx for the tips! I really enjoyed the way you expressed yourself and your overall vibe
