I am not an expert. I have been scrolling for 20 years now. This beginner video shows my scrolling technique and how I get the results I get when scrolling. www.instagram....
I just purchased a gently used DeWalt 788 and I'm excited to learn how to use it! I have watched quite a few videos, but I'm so glad I found yours! Your tips and tricks are very similar to the "old school scrollers," but the way you explain everything, and the position of your camera (which is PERFECT) keeps the viewers engaged! I found it so much easier to pay attention to your entire video (compared to others!) Thanks so much for sharing your talent and technique! You're an excellent teacher!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I also do one-on-one classes if need it. I know you will love your DeWalt as I love mine. And again thank you so much ! Keep in touch!
Ok I'm glad I found your video. I have the book. And for the butterfly patten. It suggests a loop cut; in order to make sharp edges. Also via cutting out the waste portion. And I know either is fine. Lmk your thoughts please! ❤
You are the best teacher. I bought the beginner book you recommended. I started following you on Instagram too. Thank you! So excited to have found your channel.
Yout tutorial was or is top rate. I've never scrolled . However I've freemotioned quilted for years. Unbelievable the technic is similar I'm so happy I came across your Chanel. I'm seriously going to buy a machine. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward in enjoying more educational videos.
Hi there, Scrolling really is similar to using a sewing machine. When I started scrolling 20 years ago I used a few of my mom's quilting patterns to cut out shapes. When you purchase your scroll saw make sure to get a saw that uses pinless blades and buy a foot pedal as well. You will really feel like you're using a sewing machine. 🤗
Enjoyed the video. I've watched many vids on scrolling but you are the first to explain about pulling the board towards you to prevent cutting whilst rotating . . . . excellent advice, obvious once you know it, but I didn't, so thank you. I imagine many others are thinking the same.
@@Mytoya2 I have just bought a Dremel MS20 Moto Saw. It is compact and worktop mountable for in my shed which is mainly full of railway track and stuff. I've always loved working with wood and have become disabled at the age of 62 and realise that it is building/making things that keeps me going. As much as I loved building the huge railway layout I'm not so bothered about running it . . . that's more for the grandkids. So I thought scrolling would be a new hobby to start. If I really get into it I'll build another shed because of the dust and upgrade to a DeWalt 788 which seems to be the best.
@@richardclowes6123 congratulations! I understand what your saying. Woodworking is therapy for me as well. It makes me so very happy! What kind of things are you thinking about making with your new saw?
@@Mytoya2 I haven't got a clue at the moment. I guess I'll be practising for a while and just getting use to a new hand to eye configuration. I know I'll be good at it within a short while . . . modelling is what I am good at so this is just another version I suppose. I sure that when I've cruised the internet on scrolling I find a niche that might inspire me. Thanks
Hi there, Welcome! What kind of saw do you have and how long have you been scrolling? I use MDF for a lot of my work. If you want more info on spray painting mdf find me on instagram under mytoyaNcalifornia and I will send you pics and video explaining. I use real wood from time to time as well but I never paint it. Looking forward to your answer and again welcome! 🤗
Thanks, good video. Started learning with the spiral which I thought would be easier but no and a lot of tidying up. Ill give it another go after seeing your video with the straight blades.
Don't give up. If you have Instagram contact me there. MytoyaNcalifornia is my name there. I would like to know what saw you have and what kind of things you would like to cut.
Great video, thank you so much. You make it look so easy and I know it is from your extensive experience, but you make me feel like if I put in the effort, I can do it too. I was set to begin yesterday, but power outages had other ideas. I get such anxiety at those corners, but your explanation and example of "spinny-dos" makes me think that with practice, I'll get the hang of it.
You can do this. Make sure to stop pushing when you want to turn. So stop pushing, hold your wood down with 1 hand and turn with the other. Find me on instagram if you want to video chat so I can see what you are doing with your hands when you are turning. You will find me under mytoyaNcalifornia. Hope that helps.
@@Mytoya2 i have a hegner. I have a damaged retina and the way the linkages work causes problems for me on the dewalts, deltas, etc. I am just switching over now.
Great tutorial video. Couple questions, you mentioned a scroll saw book that had the butterfly pattern, but I think I somehow missed hearing what it was. Also you said you were using mdf, do you get that from Lowe’s or HD? Or do you have alternative recommendation? Thank you again. This has been awesome!
I am so sorry. I didn't add the book. The book of ( Scroll saw Workbook) by John A. Nelson. I posted a pic on my instagram page. instagram.com/p/CLKg4ehjOi-/?igshid=8h8l54rp2e4i I get my MDF from a local ma and pa builders supply.
Great video... where is that workbook you said you would tell about? Also, the saw blades. Another question: You mentioned the DeWalt machine, yet at the end of the video, I saw 'Delta' ... I am about to buy one or the other...
Hi there, the saw I am using to cut is a dewalt 788. And I'm so sorry I did not post the book but here is a link to the book on my Instagram page. instagram.com/p/CLKg4ehjOi-/?igshid=1doy8tasw8n8l . I have both saws the DeWalt and the delta. The Delta has been put away for at least a year now and I'm only using my DeWalt. From what I understand they are both now the same saw. That's why I bought the Delta to check it out. they seem the same to be except for their different colors and the Delta is less expensive unless you find it online somewhere from a person.
Hi there, Thank you! When I started scrolling 20 years ago, I learned from reading scrollsaw books. Once I understood what the books were saying it took me about 3 months of practice. I practiced staying on the line and I did a lot of fret work. How long have you been scrolling? And what kind of saw do you have?
Hi - I purchased a Dewalt scroll saw not long ago and got an intro to scrolling book. There seems to be a disconnect between my brain, eyes, and my hands. It’s very frustrating. I’ll just keep practicing and hopefully it will get easier 🤞🏻
I wear a mask when cutting MDF. There are woods that are toxic as well but like I said I wear a mask for protection. How long have you been Scrolling and what's your favorite wood to cut?
@@Mytoya2 hi, ive just started,its driving me crazy, tried so many times to practice as you do, i think I'm using the wrong blades for the wood i use, your videos are the best ive seen, and ive watched a lot...i will keep watching your vids, im using pinned blades and your pinless are so much smaller. stay safe, rob,England.
I have a foot pedal. Find me on instagram and I will send you pics. mytoyaNcalifornia ...It makes your saw work like a sewing machine. You will love it!
I'm just getting started with scrolling. Your informational video was just what I needed.Thankyou

You told me u used a dewalt 788
With pinless blades on another video, but great advise on the foot
Petal. Yes for sure.
Your spinny doos are my turny turns. Picked up a few pointers thanks a bunch!!
Thank you for taking the time to post!
Thank you! Very informative! I need to practice the "spinny-do's"! That's a great tip!
Remember while the saw is running turn halfway then pull your project to you and spin the rest of the way. You will get faster as you practice.

Thank you for this!! I'm getting ready to start using my new scroll saw as soon as my table gets here. This is exactly what I needed!
So glad this helped! Feel free to contact me of you have questions. I love talking about scrolling.
I just posted the link in the description section. Again, so sorry I forgot to post a pic of the book. Good luck with your saw purchase.

Hola, gracias por compartir su conocimiento, cuál sería le velocidad correcta que se le debe dar a la máquina? Digamos para un tablero de 5mm?
Thank you for sharing. How long did it take you to get “good” ? Your technique is amazing.

And, Wow! Nice work on the patterns near the end!
Good night!
How many millimeters is the mdf you use?
Hi there!
It's 6.35 millimeters.
Are you using mdf because this is a practice cut or do you always use mdf
If you do - how is painting on the mdf
I hope you got my answer from your other post. 🤗
Lovely video 🤎👌🏽where can I find the facemask that you are using?

Awesomeness Thanks 😊
You're welcome 🤗!
do you wear a mask when scrolling? i was told hundreds of times on srolling platforms to not use MDF as its so toxic, what are your views plz? ty.
sorry i just realized you do a talk over.
