Buckeye state newbee

[oldfa_t]

Hi everyone!  Retired from almost every aspect of the automotive industry and now in a retirement apartment (read small) wondering where the years went.

Planning on scrolling since my entire woodshop is just a memory now.  Never had a scroll saw before and now I'm going to have a small one mounted to a wooden TV stand that can be folded if necessary.  Because of the severe space confinement, I'm thinking about the 87776 MicroLux Mini Scroll Saw.  I know I'll have problems along the way but. I've got time to solve them along with all the knowledge on this site.  Looking forward to the experience and new friendships.

Thank you for bringing that  to my attention.  I was not aware of it.

Welcome to the forum, Roger!
Looking forward to seeing some of your projects.

Do you mind saying what general area of the Buckeye state you are from?
No big deal if you are the private type like myself.

God Bless! Spirithorse

Welcome to The Village  from Southern Arizona. I started scrolling about the time I retired and it has been a source of enjoyment for me every since. I hope you can find it to your liking as much as I have. Lot for free patterns here to download and cut. We are all here to help one another and share our efforts with others as well. Lots of tutorials on scrolling on youtube.com as well.
