A few years ago, some teenage kid had rigged up an old Scroll Saw with a burned out motor to an old tredle sewing machine base. He had maybe $10 in it (mostly for new blades). He powered the tredle which powered the scroll saw by way of a round belt. He was going to make Christmas ornaments, gadgets, and thing-a-ma-doodles to sell and earn his college money from it. It cut up a storm. Smart kid.
