Hello all,
im very interested in woodworking and am just starting out in woodworking. i have yet to gather tools for woodworking but i look forward to a fulfilling hobby in which i can spend time to just unwind from a day's work.
Sadly, the woodworking in singapore is not a popular hobby due to the high prices of property and the lack of space. However i do not wish this to be a deterring factor. It's terribly hard to get parts here, i am looking for a scroll saw and have set my eyes on the DeWalt DW788 scroll saw as i am interested in scrolling. I've asked the Distributor of DeWalt Singapore and sadly they do not hold the product nor even ship it to Singapore. Inquiring further i asked if they could ship in the DW788. And you know what? They gave me a thumbs down. :( citing reasons that they are not able to service the saw if anything goes wrong. Horrible situation.
Any ways out of this guys?
However on a lighter note You won't believe how i got into woodworking.
I started out with car sound systems and then progressively worked my way up by doing up my own subwoofer boxes with MDF boards. i questioned and asked myself, why couldn't i cut out intricate patterns for my sub box and here i am. Funny how things work out.
Really interested in scrolling and intarsia.
Cheers,
Freddie
