I thought I'd post this in "advanced builds" group, not because I'm an advanced builder, but I thought this tool could be helpful to people.
My father has an electric coping saw that he mounted into a small table about 55 years ago. He used it for cutting parts for the "ships in a bottle" he used to make.
I tried cutting an F-hole today, and it's going to take some technique, but it makes a very, very fine cut.
I don't know where you'd find one today, but maybe it'll give some folks ideas for something they could build.
@Wade I think you mean The Woodwright's Shop. I know him with a foot powered lathe and I think a foot powered table or band saw - so I wouldn't be surprised if he had a foot powered scroll/coping saw.

I remember seeing a guy on PBS doing cool woodworking with a similar tool - but it had a foot pedal that you pumped.
It was a neat show with lots of simple but effective tools. Anyone remember that show?
