hippygirl Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi guys! Been wandering through the forums for a couple of days now, but it's time I step out of the shadows. A few years ago, I picked up a Skil SS (it was on sale and I thought it might come in handy to have one for who-knows-what). I set it up in my shop, but have used it only once to slice a few small dowels into spindles for a thread spool rack. Anyway, I figured it would work to learn on rather than spending big $$$ on a higher-end unit in case I found scrolling wasn't for me. So, here I am, a few years later and have decided to jump in and give this craft a try. Ordered a few dozen blades from Sloan's (skip tooth, various sizes above jeweler's blades). I have a LOT of scrap 3/4 stock left over from where we built our kitchen cabinets (boards and ply) and some 1/4 ply, so I should be set for enough wood to at least learn the mechanics of cutting. Anyway, just wanted to say hello. amazingkevin and Rob Roy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrolling Steve Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Welcome to the Village Sherry!.......You will find that the village is full of kind and helpful folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendita Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Some one say Helpful? Hello Sherry welcome to the village you've successfully made the first two steps into what some people call a hobby, I call it an addiction. Step 1 Saw step 2 seek and find the nicest people in the world to help you become a star in scrolling. Plenty of free patterns and info not always free cause you have to listen to some old turkey whose been running his saw since conception, but a small price to pay. Well have fun and make lots of sawdust and remember we love pictures so share your works ( nobody has laught so far) .../Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippygirl Posted December 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks for the welcome!

LarryEA Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks for the welcome! I'm quite sure I'll have a LOT of Qs, but, right now, I'm searching through the forum ISO info before I ask something that's already been asked a gazillion times...and I'm quite sure I'll fail miserably and end up asking anyway! Gotta run...German Shepherd pup is trying to eat my firewood... I got comments....to your comment. Please ask questions. Some of us got interupted before we could answer it last time and we are hoping it will come up again. At the top right of each page at SSV is a SEARCH BAR, just enter a term that pretains to the page you are on. Never, never claim failure!! And ask it even if you know the answer. Here's why you ask when you know the answer... because there is more than one way to do it. What's your Shepherd's name? Make him your avitar. He's helping by making kindling.
