Comments:

I first got interested in OWWM when I was looking at a old scroll saw at a indoor flea market. I came home with out it and went on-line to get some information and found this web site. After seening what many have done with old wood working machines, I went back and bought a 1936/37 Craftman 24" scroll saw for $50.00. I had e-mailed Joe Wells a member of OWWM and was informed on what to look for before I bought the machine, Thank Joe. I'm now hooked on doing more. I have no history on this machine but the stand is hand made along with the work light. Everything but a puffer tube was there. I do not know if they came with one for this model.

Comments: This old motor that came with the saw I'm sure is not the original but it did clean up well with a new paint job. The brass wicking oil cups and the open wire terminals give this motor some age.

Comments: Cleaned up the old stand and a little paint, then added a cherrywood butcher block top.Next we did new wiring and rebuild the old work light. Put everything back together and this tool will be ready for duty in the work shop. This is not a museum piece.
