helpful tools?

[Sean]

hello,

Could anyone tell me what I might find helpful for tools in my newfound hobby of scrolling?

I obviously have a scroll saw but no other power tools.

thanks again,

Sean

Everything everyone else has got except a lathe:D
Sander, compressor for blowing sawdust out of the cracks, patience, preferably in 50kg bags.
The list really is too long but a scrollsaw and something to cut timber to size and the means of sanding and finishing, just for starters.

Don't know if they're still around, I'm still using the ones i bought years ago. Strips of abrasive about 9mm wide made to fit in place of a saw blade. They were available to fit pinned or pinless. Great for fine sandingif you're doing intarsia or boulle work.

Join the masses and invest in a cyclonic dust extractor ..... thats a hobby in itself.

a drill or drill press would come in handy for making the holes for the inside cuts.

Sean,
A good useful tool to be used with the scroll saw( if you can afford it)is a thickness planer,because if you are using solid wood and not plywood it is hard to get wide boards that are under 19mm.
You can buy thin stock but it can be a bit expensive.
