New guy from Iowa

[Oldmansbike]

Just joined here. I'm from Iowa and have been using a scrollsaw for the past 20 years. I have a 26 inch RBI Hawk that I bought in 1996 new. Never had any trouble with it and have used it a lot. The pictures are some of the signs I have been making the last few years.

Welcome to the Village, Dale.  Looks like you are in a position to offer some "old hand" advice and counsel.

Hello. Welcome from Montana!

Welcome Dale!   I'm a little late getting here.   Your signs are very nicely done.   The painting is superb.   What kind of material are they made from?   I am curious about your user name Oldmansbike.   Would you care to share its significance?  

[Oldmansbike]

They are made from 1/2 inch hobby plywood from Menards. That's the only place I can find it. My wife and I have ridden Harley's for the last 16 years. 2 years ago we bought a Harley trike (bad knees) hence the name oldmansbike.

A big welcome from Arizona, as well. We all love it when someone decidesays to become a part of our family. You raised the level of scrolling when it comes to signs. Your work is not only well done but also an insperation to me to work on my creativity. I hope you take the time to log on often so everyone gets opportunity to get to know you better and you to know us as well. The people in The Village are very friendly and love to share their talents as well as their work with others. Glad you are here with us

Hi there @oldmansbike, it seems we have crossed paths on another board and didn't realize we were also friends here. Your work is phenomenal. I envy your painting ability. I can cut most anything but from there on, it eludes me as to what to do with it. Paint, stain, what finish? You have done a masterful job of sign-making. I hope we can develop more than just a casual relationship. Both here and on FB. See ya!

Hi Neighbor.  May I ask where in Iowa you live?  Wife and I own a condo in North liberty (between Iowa City & Cedar Rapids).  Retired from the hobby & gave the saw to a son in Illinois last year.

Jerry I live south of Burlington Iowa not too far from you.

Ray my painting isn't that good. I just cut out the individual parts,sand them and then hit them with a spray can of the color I want. Then just glue it all together on a backing board.
