Scroll saw at 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'll also need a workpiece drop foot to protect the blade from getting stuck or breaking. Luckily, scroll saws are relatively easy to sharpen, so it won't take long to get up to speed!
Basswood is an excellent wood to practice using when learning to use a scrollsaw. But you should avoid it if you aren't comfortable. It is difficult to maintain a pattern because the wood bends under a scroll saw blade. Also, the wood is too flaky for detailed work. Oak and other harder woods are more resistant, but they also pose a greater risk of being chipped or burned.

How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We have several ways to measure 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).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
