JimErn Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Santa decided I needed another hobby, so a scroll saw (well a picture of it -she had trouble lifting the box) was under the tree. I'm third generation retired military, stubborn as hell, and so far am enjoying this new endeavor. After looking at the pics some other newbies attached, I need to practice a lot more.

heppnerguy Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Welcome to The Village. Start with easy patterns and you will be less discouraged. Take you time and remember that if yo use really thin wood it is more difficult to cut. I would suggest starting with 1/2 inch thick wood and you will find it easier to manage. Not sure what you have for blades and wood but every option has it's effect on our work. So, if you are not sure about anything. ask....but most of all, log on often and participate in the comments. Go to the 'coffee shop' if you like to socialize. A lot of fun is found there. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimErn Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Jerry, good to hear I have company. Personally I think it comes from that old style basic training where when you failed, you learned to succeed cause as one DI used to scream in my ear, "You @$@ #$ @!#$ %#@$#@ you are not allowed to fail."
