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.

Welcome to the Village Andy from across the Pond in the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains in East Tennessee.  I had the pleasure of visiting Scotland a few years ago.  it was a beautiful area.  I forget where all we went though! 😱:oops:

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.

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.
