Hey everyone! I'm brand new to woodworking and I'm trying to make a hairpin stick. I need to cut out some shapes that go right through the wood, but I don't have a scroll saw at the moment. Is it possible to use a coping saw instead? My plan is to drill a hole, feed the blade through, reattach it to the coping saw frame, and then cut from there. Is that a workable method?

Fair warning, coping saws can be a pain to work with, and while they can get the job done, they might not be the most fun option. If you do decide to use one, remember to set it up to cut on the pull stroke for a smoother experience!
