orangeman Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hi from the mountains of North Georgia! I just signed up here yesterday and already have found some useful posts. I've been scrolling for about 10 years now and the hobby got out of hand when I started making some puzzles for the grandchildren. Now I am on the craft show circuit with my puzzles, mainly in the Southeast USA - AL, MS, FL, NC, GA. I've had 2 articles (with patterns) published by Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts magazine: A guitar puzzle and a USA Wildlife Puzzle which was in the Holiday 2014 issue a year ago. My main saw is the DeWalt 788 and I just retired a 10 yr old DeWalt saw as the repairs were costing too much. I also have a Hegner but prefer the DeWalt 788. When the current DeWalt wears out I will seriously look at the Excalibur as I think the quality of the DeWalt's aren't what they used to be 10 years ago. Come visit my website at www.pickenspuzzles.com My latest creation is a Cross Puzzle and hopefully I will be able to attach it to this post. Also, would like to see a separate PUZZLE category on this site. Regards, Brian bobscroll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Brian, Welcome aboard. I too have done some puzzles and found to my delight that I actually enjoyed making them and giving them away. It is a great way to share a photo of some special time a friend or love one had, or one of their new baby they are posting on Facebook. They always seem to love getting them. I will indeed check our your page. I like it when someone finds a particular things in scrolling that they really enjoy making, like puzzles, portraits, toys or boxes. When one finds' their specialty', they get so good at doing it that they often become the go-to person when one is doing what they do for the first few times, because of the expertise they have developed. Hope you come here often so we can get to know you better Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgman Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hi Brian, welcome to the village. It's an honor to have you here! I love your guitar puzzle. It's one of my good sellers. I usually have at least two at each show I do and always sell out. Is the cross puzzle pattern available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 4, 2015 Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Welcome to the Village Brian. Your puzzles look great. I love the cross, simple and unique. I can't wait to see more of your work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 Dan, aka dgman, Glad the guitar puzzle is a good seller for you! It is for me as well and I price it at $22. Please contact me at: brian@pickenspuzzles.com and we can work something out regarding the cross pattern. I normally do not sell my patterns - got any patterns to trade?
