Tomanydogs Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi my name is Irene. I bought a scroll saw last November, now I’m hooked. So many things I want to scroll, so many techniques I want to try. My mind is racing with ideas. I use spiral blades and have made many projects, now I need to figure out the straight blade, I find it challenging. I’m glad to be on this forum and I will be absorbing all your years of expertise. bradnjackie, John B and amazingkevin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scrollerpete Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Welcome aboard, if you started with spiral blades, you will find straight blades will be boring for you. Old Joe and bradnjackie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Welcome from East Tennessee. Glad you have joined us. Look forward to your participation and seeing some of your work. I have not been brave enough to try spiral blades yet. I hear it can be a love or hate relationship with those. I originally started with Intarsia work about 2 1/2 years ago. Thanks to all the great folks here in the Village, I have expanded that out into other areas of cutting, bradnjackie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappile Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Welcome to the forum! Glad to meet you. I use to scroll mostly with spiral blades, but decided to really give flat blades a try. Now I use both depending on what I am cutting. I am very happy that I learned to use both, make scroll even more fun. I look forward to seeing some of your work.

Rockytime Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Hi Irene and welcome to the Village, a very friendly place to hang out. It's really my wife should be greeting you as she is also from Alberta. bradnjackie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Welcome Irene. Glad to have you aboard the scroll train. Great group to share ideas and work and helpful hints. I'm finding a spiral blade challenging since I've only ever used a strait one. Interesting! Janie.... woodpecker bradnjackie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomanydogs Posted October 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Thanks, I'm excited to be here. Five dogs different breeds and sizes. Love having them, but a challenge when we want to go away, however, wouldn't be without. Straight blades, I have to remind myself they only cut one was, all those turns. bradnjackie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Welcome to the Village Irene. I take my hat off to you, I have been scrolling for about 20 years and I hate spiral blades and I love all of those turns.

John B Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Welcome Irene, I use both Spiral and flat blades, depending upon what I'm cutting. You will have fun here, lots to see, learn and friends to make. bradnjackie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradnjackie Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Welcome from Alabama Irene, I think you'll like it here, a very friendly and hilarious bunch. I absolutely hate spiral blades. All I was ever able to do with them was tear up my wood, literally. Not for me but glad you like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am practicing with a straight blade and everyday it gets better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
