You have spent hours at your scroll saw! I don't think I have spent half the time, you've spent on your fastest project, on my scroll saw TOTAL! First of all, I cannot quickly and easily go from hole to hole to hole, etc. for the various cuts... probably the main reason of my small usage.
A friend had a saw like yours... he said it was so easy to do, he could do it blind folded!
I have the feeling we are about to see more projects... This, being just for Starters... Yes?
