jibjabjake Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Hi everyone. I am just a month into scrolling. So fresh that I've only made three projects. I have many patterns waiting to start. Glad to see a great community of people. I have been stalking the forums for a few months before I made the decision to get a saw. I got a harbor freight saw with a Pozgai blade attachment added. I am currently using Olson blades. I have been quiet happy with the reverse tooth blades. I need way more practice to get the hand of spiral blades I have found. I did recently discover I was trying to rush things and pushing the wood too hard. I find scrolling very relaxing so far. Here's a picture of a project I did for my kids. Those zig zags were tougher than they looked to this newbie. Edited February 23, 2017 by jibjabjake Mimi and amazingkevin 2 Quote

meflick Posted February 23, 2017 Report Posted February 23, 2017 Well, in spite of your topic header I still opened it and wanted to welcome you the Village. As you have found from your stalking of the forums, lots of great people and information to be found and shared here. Looks like you are well on your way to becoming hooked on working with the scroll saw. I look forward to seeing what other projects you share. Just, please - no elephants! (You might like the Intarsia one in my gallery files though.) Quote

heppnerguy Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 I am always happy to find new scrollers that have decided to come on board in our world wide family.. you should feel very welcomed here. Remember we all started with our first piece and I hope you keep your first one because as time goes by, you can look back and chuckle to yourself about how you were struggling to get those zig zag's cut. pretty soon they will be so easy to do, you won't believe it. It is kind of like learning to drive a car and at first every curve was a little challenging and took all your concentration just to get around them smoothly, then after a little bit of experience you never had to give those curves a second thought. same with zig zags.

Clayton717 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 Welcome to the Village. lot of great people here, so if you have questions just ask. Never rush or push to much you won't get the cuts you like. Let the saw do the cutting don't force it. Quote
wombatie Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 Welcome to the Village. I'm Marg from Australia. Quote
