I hit a yard sale a few weekends ago and picked up an old Sears scroll saw for 5 bucks...
It ran! I had to rewire it, put on a new switch and do a lot of cleaning and some fine tuning but she runs like a champ and I was cutting 1/4" aluminum with it Sunday morning! I made a foam board blank to mock up gages in the van. I used 5 dollar saw to cut this out...
I used the scroll saw again to cut out some more foam core to make the speedo and tach. I used these to mock up the gage positions in the cluster.
I have gotten 5 dollars worth of use out of that saw already! I use it almost every time I am out there working.

Glad you posted this, Mark. I had forgotten that those little scroll saws will cut non-ferrous metals!
