My New Scroll Saw - I Found All The Lumber

I went to Kraft Lumber last week after having lost more than half a day the day before at the big box stores looking for the right lumber for my porch stairs. It wouldn't have been so hard if they were 4ft wide as most places carry treads that width. But I was able to get the 6 ft ones at Kraft and also the boards to make the stringers, risers and framework. The store stringers only had a 7-inch rise and I need 8 so I need to make those myself.

My sister was looking at dryers to put into the victorian house she is restoring in Pittsburgh, so we headed back up to Lowes in a last ditch effort to see if she could get one delivered before she headed back to California. While she was doing that I went to my favorite department, tools. And there it was, a scroll saw and it had a stand. It looked to be a nice one made by Delta. I need to cut the stair stringers out of 2 x 12 boards and I wanted a band or jigsaw for that but I sure have been wanting a scroll saw for other projects I have done. They only had the display model and I bought it at 20% off. I want to try and make some victorian scroll work for my sister's victorian house.

I spent over an hour trying to put the scrollsaw stand together. The instructions were absolutely terrible. The legs of the stand were sticking out in the wrong directions. I knew that wasn't right. After trying every kind of combination, I got it put together right. I finally hoisted that saw up into position and tightened it down. Nothing left but to figure out how the blade attaches and how to use it. I hope it isn't as hard as putting that dumb stand together.

[update: The scroll saw was missing a piece, wouldn't you know Murphy's Law strikes again. I contacted the store but this was their last one. They told me that I could probably return it to the other store in town but sheez I spent so much time putting the stand together! Instead I contacted Delta (bought out by Black and Decker) and they are sending me the part. If it works I'll keep it, if not I'll take it back.]
[update2: They sent me the part but it turned out there was one more spring missing. They sent it right out and it is all working. I'm very satisfied with the customer service at Black and Decker. Also I bought a top quality Dewalt jigsaw and it cut the stringers like butter. It was one of my best tool investments.]
