Richard Crees shares the scroll saw he has used for 66 years.
Guys this is a special video that was posted on YouTube a couple of days ago. I love this video.
How many of you think your scroll saw will last 66 years? In this video, Richard shows the scroll saw he received from his parents when he was 7 years old. He has used it all these years and is about to finally retire it. He shows how it operates and tells information about the tool.
I was blown away when Richard said he still had the first project he cut with this saw. At the end of the video, he shows the birdhouse he made for his grandparents in 1954. It is a beautiful birdhouse for a 7-year-old or a grown adult. It is still in excellent condition.
He also has the second project he made. It is a small leaf shelf. Just for fun I quickly recreated a rough pattern of the leaf shelf in his video. Here is a link to that pattern. Use 1/4" thick wood.
As an added bonus, look around his shop as he moves around. You can tell he has lots of interests. Richard is a man who knows how to stay busy and have fun.
Thanks for the video, Richard.
