Barnes Scroll Saw at auction - mvflaim - 01-15-2017 Anyone in Cincinnati who needs a new scroll saw should take a look at this (not mine) https://www.ebth.com/items/4936361-antique-barnes-velocipede-saw Would be much more fun than using those loud electric ones. If I had the cash, I'd buy it myself and post YouTube videos of my glee. Mike RE: Barnes Scroll Saw at auction - Bill_Houghton - 01-16-2017 Too bad I don't live in Ohio (aka A-hi-ah), or I could go drop half my shop money on that... Looks like it was a nice restoration. RE: Barnes Scroll Saw at auction - mvflaim - 01-16-2017 I can't believe it sold for that much. I saw one similar to that one at an antique mall in Florence, Ky a couple years ago for about $500. I should have bought it. ![]() RE: Barnes Scroll Saw at auction - Timberwolf - 01-16-2017 (01-16-2017, 10:13 PM)mvflaim Wrote: I can't believe it sold for that much.

I saw the largest version in an Asheville antique store ten years ago...asking $1,000. I was tempted..it was in fine condition. RE: Barnes Scroll Saw at auction - hbmcc - 01-17-2017 I have seen homemade versions and plans. It's just too easy to pick up a cheap tailed screamer. RE: Barnes Scroll Saw at auction - Tony Z - 01-17-2017 Pretty pricey-though this one looks "prettied up"! Seen originals ranging $350 to $600, and some only needing a thorough cleaning. Pretty common and if any one is really interested in getting one, watch Martin Donelly's auctions as he always seems to have Barnes tools listed.

I've used one of those velocipedes before. It's fun for about the first 15 minutes. I know this is the hand tool forum, but I'll keep my electrified saw, thank you very much. ![]() Also, just for the record, my scroll saw is about the quietest power tool in my shop. I will admit though, velocipedes are cool. ![]() ![]() |
