    Opinions please

    Hi all, I have figured out that I love the scrollsaw and have recently decided to try some intarsia projects. I currently am using a Craftsman saw that I picked up at a yard sale. I figure that will get me through my early projects. However, I have a feeling that I will need to upgrade saws in...

    Opinions on Hickory brand hardware?

    I'm pricing out hardware (knobs, pulls) for my next project. I'm comparing nearly identical hardware from both Hickory and Classic Brass brands. The price difference is 3.82 vs 27.73. Since I need 12 of these, that comes to a $287 difference :eek: I'm not looking to shave pennies here and there...
