blights69 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 I am an ex kitchen fitter having to give up early due to back issues I needed something to do to not go stir crazy so thought I would give this a go and am quite enjoying it at the moment. I thought I would put a few pics up of what I have done so far and open myself up to see what the more experienced scrollers on here say about my efforts so far. I have only been having a go for around 6 weeks so far and am learning watching videos reading forums etc etc getting as much info as I can to help me along the way. Any comments welcomed good or bad its all a learning curve for me and will all be taken on board. P.S. I have no idea why the pictures uploaded sideways lol some things are way past me uploading of pictures is one of them TripleJScroller, Falcon, bobscroll and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye10 Posted December 28, 2016 Report Share Posted December 28, 2016 Welcome Frank. From looking at your pictures you may be able to teach us a few things. I hope we see you posting every day. PS - The reason you pictures are loading sideways is because your holding your camera sideways. I just couldn't resist saying that. blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 I can see that you have really been bitten by the scroll bug. It probably amazed you when you found out what you were able to do with a scroll saw and a piece of wood. Your work is well done and I expect you will be busy all year making gifts for weddings, graduations and and birthdays. Looks like you are well on your way to achieving whatever you decide to do. I am with you with not wanting to set around and do nothing. Keep up the good work and make sure the number one thing you keep doing is having fun...

dgman Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Welcome to the Village Frank! You are off to a great start with some nice work! Did you take the pictures with a smart phone or iPad? The software on this forum and others will automatically post pictures in the orientation it was taken. On a iPhone the shutter button is on the right side of the screen. If you take the picture with the button on the left, it will be upside down. If you take the picture with the button on the bottom or top, it will be sideways. You can edit your pictures in a photo editing program to rotate them properly. blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky2 Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Frank, welcome to the Village, you may be a new scroller, but your work looks as if it was cut by someone with lots of experience. Len blights69 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted December 29, 2016 Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Wow they are terrific. I wish I had been scrolling that well at 6 weeks, you are obviously a natural at scrolling, so it's on to bigger and better things for you Frank.

blights69 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2016 Thank you for all your kind comments it is nice to hear I am on the right track it is always easy to look at your own creations and think yea that`s ok but to have it confirmed by others with more experience is a great feeling and motivation to keep practising and learning thanks again. Great sites like this help newcomers I used this site for reference from type of saw to blades to patterns and next GULP making my own portrait patterns which of course has lessons on this great site to refer to.
