Macman Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hello everyone. Absolutely delighted to have found this amazing place. Already have spent hours reading so much interesting posts. I am very new to the scroll saw, I bought my first one less than a month ago. A real cheap machine that surprisingly didn’t put me off from the first go. Fell in love with the ability to shape wood and ordered a Hegner as I knew in my heart this was for me. I keep practicing as much as I can and my little daughter who is four loves choosing animal patterns and helps to sand and paint them. This I think is the ultimate reward. Seeing the joy on her face is priceless. My desire is to cut portraits. However I feel I don’t have the basic skills yet and feel reluctant to try one until I am confident of doing a reasonable job. Look forward to getting to know you all. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappile Posted October 23, 2018 Report Share Posted October 23, 2018 Glad to meet you. Welcome to the village and nice to have a castle close by. I looked at images of it, very beautiful. I am a very happy Hegner owner.. They are not for everyone, but I sure love mine. Takes a little time to get use to and learn the proper tension (something you just seem to get a feel for with practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatie Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Welcome to the Village Andy. I spent 6 weeks in Scotland the first time I went and 3 weeks the second time, so basically I have see it all. My favorite town was Fort William. You will learn a lot here but remember if you have any questions at all, just ask, someone will help you. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
