Scroll saw work
While you're learning how to use a scroll saw, one of the most important things you'll need is a blade. Scroll saw blades are sharp and can last a long time. However, they can become worn out quickly so be sure to change them regularly. You will also need to use a workpiece dropfoot to keep the blade from sticking or breaking. Luckily, scroll saws are relatively easy to sharpen, so it won't take long to get up to speed!
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. It bends under the blade making it difficult to create a pattern. The wood is also too fragile to make detailed designs. While more durable woods like oak are less likely to be chipped and burned, they're also more susceptible to damage.

How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a digital ruler (a tool to measure distances), laser level (used for leveling your work surface), and bubble level (used for levelling your work surface).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. 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. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
