Saws that I have used in learning to scrollsaw over the years.
This was the first scrollsaw I had as a child. My Grandmother gave this to me when I was about 10 years old. It was a used saw at that time so my guess is that it was made in the 50's, by Craftsman.
This Jet was the first saw I purchased in December of 1986. I used this saw occasionally, but learned to saw on it.
I purchased my first Delta 15" in November of 1988. I ran this saw some but still was not into scrolling fulltime.
Finally in July of 1990 the 16" Delta was ready. I bought one, but it broke so much I bought a second one a few weeks later. That way I had one to use while the other was in the shop.
I have 2 of these.
Finally in August of 1989 I bought the 18" Delta variable speed C-Arm. Then in November in 1990 I bought another one to match it. I was now ready to really get into scrolling more than ever. Kind of the start of the full time business.
I have 2 of these.
In December of 1992 I was given the prototype of the Q3. I had to send that one back, but was given this one before they first came onto the market.
I have 3 of the Q3 saws now.
Yes that is a Dewalt in the saw line up of the saws in the shop. I have used it but still prefer the Q3.
I purchased the first P20 to come into the area, in 1999, so this is the early model.
