Sold my guitar, and bought a Delta.

Good day fellow Artisans. My insperation for scroll saw and serious fret work came from a friend of my Dads. He produced some fine, fine work. I became only fair in comparison in my 5 years or so as an artist, and then passed my saw on to my Pops only to return recently. My options for the few $$ I had were few, knowing I still had to purchase blades, bits, and patterns. I got way lucky when I was offered a Delta 40-540, like new for a third of its cost. Came with a foot switch and after market light. It is a true pleasure to have such a smooth machine with the blade change system that is making re-entering this medium of art very easy for me, and much less frustrating than my old Craftsman 1986 model would have proved to be. I was a furniture mover for 23 years. Nuff said. I need some income via a trade that allows me to sit while working. This is it.

I am looking forward to listening and learning from all of you beginning and accomplished Artisans in the Fret / Scroll world. I will spend some time reading your forum and getting aquanted...THANK YOU AND HELLO FROM BOULDER COUNTY COLORADO.
