Chiloquinruss Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 New to intarsia but not wood working. I have a dream shop for my retirement years that includes a ShopBot CNC router, a 19 inch re-saw band saw. cabinet saw, 30 inch drum sander, 24 inch planner and most importantly a Hawk scroll saw. Now the reality is I have used the Hawk very little but my reason for joining this group is to help me change all that. I want to learn how to do intarsia as I have a couple of projects roaming around in my head. My main passion outside of wood working is anything to do with model trains. I am a model maker for the local live steam club which is 1/8th scale or 1 1/2 inches to the foot. Now I want to do some artful things to add to my wood working enjoyment. Please be patient with me if I ask some really dumb questions. Russ amazingkevin 1 Quote

wombatie Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 Welcome to the Village Russ. I'm Marg from Australia. No questions are dumb only the ones you don't ask that you need that answer too. Marg Quote
Chiloquinruss Posted December 27, 2015 Author Report Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the warm welcome. I am planning on doing some scrolling after the New Year as will start my newbie questions then. In answer to some questions above I made an album called Russ Stuff. WARNING - NO SCROLL STUFF - just some of my modeling and some other wood projects and a couple of shop pix. Thanks again for the welcome.

bobscroll Posted December 27, 2015 Report Posted December 27, 2015 Hello Russ and welcome to the village, Thank you for the intro, I love your shop it looks fantastic! I'll see you later, Bob Quote
heppnerguy Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Welcome Russ, first of all I have to say that I feel really sorry for you for having to be jammed in such a small shop but I guess one has to deal with what they have on hand. Just teasing you, Your shop is fabulous. It is really nice and well set up. I too live in Oregon and was actually born in Tillamook. I am glad you found us. The person that runs this site lives in Vancouver Washington and we are talking about getting together with all who are interested, to have a picnic or something this coming summer, so keep this in mind. There are no dumb questions and everyone started scrolling with their first piece so everyone has probably had the same questions you may have. I too have a Hawk as well as a DeWalt 788. I hope you log on often and we can all get to know you bettern Dick heppnerguy Quote
Chiloquinruss Posted December 28, 2015 Author Report Posted December 28, 2015 "we are talking about getting together" We have a group of about 25 northwest ShopBot owners (my CNC machine) that get together once a year someplace near Portland. We have a 8:30 to 9:30 meet and greet, then presentations, lunch, more presentations then the best part show and tell. Lots of fun, great information and super contacts with fellow Botters.

Dave Monk Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 I am also new so hopefully we can both learn together. Dave Quote
