If you want a scroll saw, but your wallet suffers from a severe
impaction, then a thing like this will either fill your scrolling needs
or convince you to get out the crowbar. Either way, to me it's worth
the price (pretty much free). I hope it at least amuses.

I have a scroll saw, but for some things this works better. I have had
mine set up like this for years. Just a hole in the counter top for the
blade and two counter-sunk flat head screws that fit into threaded holes
in the base of my jigsaw. Set-up or take-down in a couple of minutes.

I had a Hersch (?) saw table (sic) many years ago that did this. You
could mount a circular saw, jig saw, or router under the table.

At one point I tried to set up something like this in a router table,
but I couldn't get it to cut anything that resembled a straight line.
Gave up and bought a cheapo HD bandsaw. Just recently gave that up and
bought a used 16", 1.5hp Grizzly.

Often easier to bring the work to the tool.

Now you're talking. Or maybe something gas-powered.

YEAH! That's IT! a CHAINSAW!. Why bother using a bandsaw for resawing?
Why, with a table-mounted, vertically pointed bar chainsaw, and a
tablesaw-like fence setup, except for wasting slightly more wood with
the wide kerf, you'll be resawing like a saw mill! Imagine, you need a
2X6 or something, just cut down a tree and push it through your
tablechainsaw! I've got an old Poulan out in the shed somewhere... I
can hardly wait!

Mine has clamps. Just slide the saw in and tighten the wing nuts.

You would probably be interested in Nick Englers book on scrollsaws.
It has a design for an actual C-arm scroll saw, made mostly from wood,
that uses a chearp jigsaw as the power source.
And if you are looking for a quiet scroll saw, one that runs like a
sewing machine, how about making one form a sewing machine?

The web page shows a picture of it now, but not a real good one.

Rats, until I looked at the pics I was thinking more of a Ford 289
running a saw to match David Marks' jointer:-0
