I’m a woodworker, so I have a reason to own a bandsaw other than this project, I don’t need a cricut. I don’t have a band saw already because there is NO room in my shop for one. It’s actually getting hard to walk around in there.
Much harder to remove fingers with a scroll saw. Also way tighter curves and blind holes can be done. Plus you can get old ones for almost free off marketplace.
Yeah, in my shop a band saw would be used for resawing as much as anything. RIght now I resaw with my table saw, which…isn’t great. I don’t do much intricate scrollwork, or if I do, out comes the jigsaw. It’s what I rough cut the bottom arched piece of this with.
I use my bandsaw the most in my shop (maybe second to the sander now that I think of it.) I’ve had a scroll saw I got from my dad’s shop that may have come from my grandpa’s. Weighs a ton. I’ve had it ten years and never used it.
A cricut machine & some removable vinyl can accomplish this at a fraction of the price.
Ingest, process, excrete is way better than “live/laugh/love”

Scroll saw would be more effective for this, but the bandsaw would be more versatile.

Can confirm, got my scroll saw at a yard sale for $20
