Yes and no You can get real close to the blade with your fingers at least with
the scroll saw I have. You will have to do what I did just get a lot of scrap
wood and just practice following the lines going up to the blade and learning
when to turn and do things like that...

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....

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Scroll saws, band saws, cutting shapes
I have a delta unisaw, a jointer, plainer, drill press, router and router
table. 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?
