NC Scroller Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 I am not new to scrolling but new to this site. I live in NC along the VA border. I own two DW788's (one Type 1 and one Type 2) and an older Hawk. I am blessed to have a detatched garage that is my shop. I am still working so I do not get as much shop time as I would like but does anyone really get as much shop time as they want? When not working or in the shop I do some reading, fishing and even a little hunting. I have played with some pattern designs but that is one area I really hope to focus on some day.

amazingkevin Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi Scott ,Welcome ,I too have both dewalts but never tryed the type 2 it's sitting on the shelve as a back up but have two more saws as a back up .Never too many back up's right,lol I tryed to find the difference in the two dewalts but didn't find anything.Yeah finding time to scroll that is the question.I'm bored not finding the perfect pattern to do.You and me both on the patterning,Just to much to remember for me ,but once you know you know.Keep coming back to see what you would have missed. I can't go a day with out coming here.My free wood supply is overwhelming and today i spent time and organized it all again .It was getting soaked from holes in my three tarps but now it should be ok .Always something to keep you from scrolling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendita Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hello Scott welcome to the Village hope to see a lot of your stuff soon we love pictures here. Don't be shy check in often things keep changing and new patterns come up every day. I am one of the fortunate ones that can scroll when I want to, the only thing holding me back is getting new blades and some better quality wood. But time is all mine. Good luck and again Welcome Scott .../Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson's Woodworking Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi Scott! Yes I know what you mean about that nasty thing called working keeping you away from your scroll saw. Awful just awful isn't it, but you have to do what you have to do to keep a roof over our heads and food in the family’s stomachs. All we can do is scroll when we have a little time and enjoy what we do. As mentioned above we love to see pictures even if you don’t think it is good enough, we all make a little decorative fire wood once in a while but mostly we are our own worst critics. Welcome to the village and most of all have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimi Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hello Scott. I am from VA. My family used to go to nags head on vacation. Love the peanuts from that area. Would really like to see some of your work. I understand about work keeping us from the saw. There are days that i would much rather spend the day in my shop then going to work. Have a great day and scoll when you can and enjoy what you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
