Every tool has its uses and if you aren't willing to learn to use it, it
will always be a space-wasting item. I won't ever own a scroll saw (or
toaster oven) but know people that love both and use them a lot. I can't
imagine not having two working crockpots, and during fall winter (and often
summer) am cranking out meals using them.
