In this video I show you how to use a scroll saw. I am calling this video scroll saw 101 because I go over the basics of using a scroll saw for beginners in the video. I have done many scroll saw projects in the past such as scroll saw letters and assorted scroll saw art. This scroll saw tutorial shows how to operate the machine, change out the scroll saw blades, and how to actually make cuts with a scroll saw. Some easy scroll saw projects for beginners include cutting out shapes and letters. The benefit of using a scroll saw vs band saw are that you can make inside cuts on a scroll saw. I hope my scroll saw 101 video can be of help and I plan on posting another scroll saw tips and tricks video in the future. In this video I use my Ryobi 16 inch scroll saw which I like because it is simple and easy to use.

Tools I Use and Recommend:

Just a tip. Cover the wood you want to cut out with blue painter tape, and then glue the pattern to that. Makes it much easier to remove the leftover pattern.

I am new to woodworking, however I’ve been a seamstress for over forty years, and I found some similarities between the two. For example replacing the blade is similar to replacing a sewing machine needle, and the method of having the saw faster while working with thicker materials. My husband has been building things since he was a teen so he’ll be able to help me, but I’d like to learn, and start out with a good knowledge of it.

Sweet, thanks for the info. I am about to go buy the same saw, started woodworking recently and it’s safe to say I’m addicted. Nothing like that smell!

I haven’t used a scroll saw since I was in school decades ago. This was so much simpler than back then. Maybe it was just complicated because I was a kid. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thanks for sharing the video!
