[Scrolling Steve]

A chip off the old block, for sure !

[rdatelle]

She did a great job on those for the first time. You should be proud.

[smitty0312]

 The practice I gave her was I drew some straight lines on scrap wood and also drew a radius from a spray paint can And had her cut those to get comfortable

[Blaughn]

Success like that is likely to spawn a lifelong addiction - and not a bad one to have!  Well done!

[Scrappile]

Keep on her, looks like she has real talent.  We really need to get young blood in this hobby or it will die. 

[penquin]

Looks like she did just fine, they look great.  Tell her welcome to the world of scrolling and have fun.

Oh dear looks like you may have a little competition for the saw table in the future judging by those first time efforts she may have here own orders from school to do . nice to see a young`un on the saw though.
