Intro To The Scroll Saw

A scroll saw is used to cut intricate curves in wood, metal, and other materials. Its name comes from its traditional use in making sculptural ornaments featuring scroll-head designs. Its fine blade allows it to cut more delicately than a handheld power jigsaw and more easily than a hand coping saw.

In this brief evening class, staff instructor Max Smith will explain how a scroll saw works and demonstrate its properties and applications.
