So, it's possible to direct the plywood where you want it and still know where the blade is in relation to your hands and the lines? I've never tried a scrollsaw before.

Hi, Well I recently got one of the raised drawing boards and I have bin experimenting with it. What I bin doing is I draw a shape on a piece of paper using the raised drawing board and then I tape that on a piece of plywood and cut it out with my scroll saw. Well it works but it takes a lot of time and practice and lots and lots of sanding... Hope I can get better as time goes on and more times I do it the easier it seems to get....

I'm wondering if some other tools will be worth buying. Here are a few random questions I have. Is a scrollsaw of any use to a blind person? Can a blind person resaw wood with a bandsaw? I'm tired of wasting wood! How do blind people cut out shapes. I could use a router and a template I suppose, but how do I cut a template? I've used a lathe duplicator to copy a template, can a blind person make freehand turnings? How about sharpening all sorts of tools?
