not sure about bragging...but certainly proud :)

[tmbits]

Well I guess its time to let the scroll community judge my work!

 

I've seen many projects here that are simply wonderful! So I guess its my turn as a newbie to display mine.

I've had my saw for a couple of years but never really took it terribly seriously until this year. My shop is VERY difficult to work in due to the fact that it is an old OLD house and therefore the wiring, lighting etc just isn't very easy to work with. But throughout time I've invented ways to make life a little easier and get to it!

 

So here is some of my work. mostly completed in the last 2 weeks. Once I get started on one? I can't stop. I spend hours at the spot. Its become my Zen 

 

I'll post them in order from first completed project to last.

Wow, if that is your first, you are well on your way to a fun hobby.  I can see a quality progression in your work.

[tmbits]

Thank you so much Denny! I'm very eager to get going on more complex intricate custvbut my saw isn't very friendly to that. So I'm creating my own iserts etc. And of course paying close elattention to a lot of tip posts here! I have learned SO much from this forum!!

Those came out great for a beginner.I love the colors you used to.  You'll be doing portraits soon to. Just use good blades and take your time.

[Scrappile]

Some work that definitely rates "bragging" rights!  Great stuff.  And, Welcome to the forum.

For "newbie" you are doing extremely well! 

 

For ANYONE some of that is very fine work!

 

Some unknown reason the mink is my favorite.

[MTCowpoke22]

They look great!

[tmbits]

Wow! Thank you so much everyone! To be told you're work is great from friends and family is great but being told that from peers within the same community is the ultimate! I'm thoroughly enjoying looking at everyone else's as well and am blown away by many! Thanks for being so welcoming! Looking very forward to learning a great deal...and passing that on one day as well.

[newfie]

[Dave Monk]

You should be very proud. Does't it give you a great feeling when you get finish a project? Watch out or you will become totally addicted like myself. dave

Rob, I think that's an otter. Minks are much smaller and they have bushy tails similar to a squirrels tail.

Tim, if I was judging your work, I'd never think that your a newbie. Far from it, you've got some very nice looking projects here. Especially the horse one, that is very impressive to me.

If a newbie did this I'm going to take a refresher course "scrolling 101" Sharpen my pencils and get with the progam,I've been slacking way to long This is going to be the one to watch I'm telling you.Way to go Tim                

[woodduck]

I think you are addicted now like the rest of us .Some very nice work there Tim .love the horse one & looking forward to seeing more of your work

[wombatie]

You have pasted the newbie status, you are now a fully functioning addicted scroller, well done.  Your work is great and I especially like the horse.

You have a lot to Brag about.They are Beautiful.  

[Gordster]

Love them all Tim...dynamite work you did...some fancy cuts on the horse

[Paul hd]

Super scrolling.

[daveww1]

beautiful work, you sure have been busy

[tmbits]

Wow! Nice to wake up and read these all. Again, thank you u so very much! Now im fired up to get out there and go go go! lol. And yes Rob that is an Otter actually. its Otter Sunning On A Rock. Ãm I the only one that is terribly frustrated with spiral blades?? I use an older Delta saw (was given to me when a very dear friend passed away) I'm not at all familiar of all the different sizes TPI, scroll speeds etc. But thanks to this forum I'm DEFINITELY getting there! But the spirals? They seem to push me to a whole new level of frustration. I find I'd rather stand there and spin the work around. Which does slow things down a LOT. 

Is it just me? 

 

Regardless. I thank all of you very much for your encouragement!

Very well done and you are justified in being proud.  I'm especially partial to the horse, maybe because that fits my interest.  I know sometimes that people think they have to have the finest equipment to create great work but that isn't true.  Some of the members create some beautiful work with a hand fret saw.  Better equipment can make it easier.  I'm with you on spirals.  They do have a place but it's in the back of my blade drawer and they only come out when the piece is too large for a straight blade.
