lake9guy Posted January 23, 2016 Report Posted January 23, 2016 As a new SSV member thought I would add a brief introduction. -- Retired engineer, in my seventies, have been working with wood for a couple of years; avid DIY -- Trying to figure out what woodworking I want to do, I have tried making wood fishing lures, wood signs, wood bookcases and so forth. Don't want to do many large wood projects; want to stay small -- I've been using hand and power tools 30-years plus so can be said I am handy with tools -- Workshop is limited to 2/3 of a single-car garage space, but have the necessary wood power tools -- Scroll sawing has come (again) into my wood life, after making a couple of dozen hand routed signs I have come to think what I want is more detail and a better finished product. Scroll sawing seems to fit this-- we will see!! SSV website offers much of what I want to access lake9guy@gmail.com bobscroll 1 Quote

orangeman Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Edward, A big welcome from the top end of GA - Jasper! Try a puzzle or two - they are addictive. I'm convinced the Lowndes County Sheriff brings in enough $$ patrolling I-75 to fund the entire city! bb Quote

Just a note for what it is worth, I have always read it is not advisable to post your email address in the forum section for everyone to see. You can get spammed or something. Quote

Jim Finn Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 Welcome from Texas: Most people with scroll saws seem to do a lot of fretwork. I do not. There are many other things to be done with a scroll saw. To list some: Intarsia, segmentation, toy making, bowl making , basket making, lettering, compound cutting and double bevel inlay. Quote
