Upcoming Events

April 5th, 2025 Meeting - Dust collection tips and techniques 

There are several different ways to manage dust in your workshop. We will be going over the different tools used for dust collection along with when, why and where they should be used. We will be discussing the difference between dust extractors vs shop vac vs dust collectors and which one works best for which situation along with air filtration units.

May 3rd, 2025 Meeting - Scroll saw buying guide, everything you ever wanted to know about buying a new scroll saw

This will be a deep dive into scroll saws. We will be going over all the scroll saws that are currently for sale that I can find. Price, quality, availability of parts, manufacturer support and where each saw can be purchased will be covered. We will also be discussing who actually manufacturers scroll saws and why so many saws look so similar to each other. This is intended to be an objective and comprehensive look at saws for sale today. If you are in the market for a new saw do not buy one until you see this presentation.

North Star Scrollers

The North Star Scrollers club was established in Minnesota on April 4, 2009 as a non-profit membership organization 'to develop interest in and increase knowledge of scroll scroll sawing', including the techniques of intarsia, fretwork, marquetry, pyrography as well as a variety of related crafts.  We invite anyone interested in sharing their knowledge and experience to  join and learn along with us. ​Our membership forms a diverse community of helpful enthusiasts composed broadly by age, gender and experience including beginners and notable professionals. You need not join immediately to try us out. We encourage you to take us for a 'test drive'. We hold monthly meeting between September and May each year that consists of a short business meeting, Show & Tell and an informative program related to scroll sawing. Throughout the year we sponsor classes that highlight a variety of scroll sawing skills to members and non-members alike. In addition to our regular meetings, we publish a monthly newsletter, seek and distribute information on scroll sawing activities and participate in various shows and community projects. We also make toys and paintable scroll saw projects for TLC Toys  who then distribute to various organizations like police and fire departments and memory care units.
