Description: A scroll saw is a small electrical saw used to cut intricate curves in wood, metal, or other materials. The fineness of its blade allows it to cut more delicately than a power jigsaw, and more easily than a hand coping saw or fretsaw. In this class, Jim will explain and demonstrate the basic operation and uses of the scroll saw that include maximizing the scroll saw’s efficiency and accuracy. Students will also learn how to setup and align the machine using various blade sizes and teeth configurations along with proper maintenance practices and trouble shooting. You will practice basic in- and outside cuts complete during the class one of the following, a trivet.
This class is intended for beginners and for those who wish to brush up on their bowl turning skills. We will begin by a review of safety precautions followed by a discussion and demonstration of the turning tools needed along with methods and proper sharpening techniques.

Under close supervision, students will be assigned to their own lathe where they will learn to turn small bowls by the end of class.
