I am taking a break from my normal tool related blog posts on the front page, and giving my personal blogging a go.

For a while now I have been fixated on buying a scroll saw, probably do to watching a ton of online scroll saw videos. The other reason being all of the cool projects I could finally build by owning one.

Not knowing if  scrolling is a hobby I will stick with, I don't want to spend a ton of money; but on the other hand I do not want to be put off because of poor equipment. So the hunt for a decent used scroll saw began.

The last few months I have had my eyes checking Craigslist, ebay, and the local listings. The problem is I always seem to hesitate while trying to find a better deal. Just yesterday I passed up a listing on ebay for a Hegner 18" scroll saw for $350 + $66 for shipping. That was a pretty good deal on a 10 year old saw, but I couldn't pull the trigger. It did have a bit of rust that made me stop and think, but in the end it just was a bit higher then I wanted to spend.

So the hunt continues...
