I'm wondering if other's use a different
approach (ie. dremmel tool to remove waste, coping saw to cut the inlay
etc....). I'd very much like to try this but don't want to pony up to
buy a scrollsaw that will probably get used twice a year.

There's a small book called, The Art of Inlay, by a reknown artist in
the guitar circles. The book is concentrated on inlaying guitar necks
and pegheads (if that's the right term) but it's certainly applicable to
other uses. He uses a fretsaw and dremel type mini-router.

Ahh, here it is:

And another that will knock yer socks off with the skill and artistry:
