Scroll saw work
When you are learning to use a scrollsaw, the most important thing you'll need to be able is a knife. Although scroll saw blades can be durable and sharp, you should replace them as often as possible. You'll also need a workpiece drop foot to protect the blade from getting stuck or breaking. Scroll saws take very little time to sharpen.
Basswood is a great wood for practicing scroll saw use. However, if you aren’t comfortable with the tool, you may want to avoid it. Because the wood bends under the blade, it can be difficult to keep a pattern, and it's also too flaky to be very detailed. Harder woods, such as oak, are more durable but also have a higher risk of burning and chipping.

FAQ
How do I learn basic woodworking skills?
A great way to start learning how to build furniture is by building a simple bench for yourself. You can do this project using any type of wood you have on hand at home. If you are unsure what type of wood is best, you can get cheap pine boards at Lowes (or Home Depot) instead. Once you have built your bench, you will need to sand it off and then finish it with a stain/varnish.

How To
How do you measure wood accurately?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
