hi
i have just joined this site, i am finding it very interesting, i would like to try my hand at scroll sawing, but dont know where to start, the thing is i have not got a shed or garage, only 2 spare bedrooms, and a room of my kitchen, so was woundering if i should change my hobby choice are not , any help would be great, thought of wood burning but really do fancy scroll sawing, thanks in advance

A scroll saw is bound to generate fine sawdust so it's not really a good idea to use one in a room with plush carpets and curtains. However, if you've got a tiled kitchen and a tolerant spouse who would appreciate a few hand-made trivets and coasters... . You will probably be limited to using wood which is prepared for you by a retailer (someone like Hobbies of Dereham or a local craft shop) which will be more expensive than the wood many scrollers are able to buy and machine themselves. Oh, and treat yourself to a small hand-drill too, which you'll need for pierced work.
