Hello all,

[preprius]

My name is Mark.

During lockdown I can work from home.  So I'm not retired yet.  But I do have more time to play with tools.  I finally looked at my scroll saw and asked when was the last time I played with that?

So I decided to re-learn scolling and get better at it.  So I found this place (Village) and can read great lessons learned and tips. I'm amazed at the quality of work and projects that I see here.

Tools: I don't have laser or 3D printer.  I do not have band saw.  I do have drill press and have done some wood turning using drill press accessory.  

  Cut off miter power saw, and power hand tools.  Oh and a router table.   All tools are entry level.  Scroll saw is Porter Cable from Lowes.

Right before lockdown I started G scale (garden) model railroads. So I have some ideas of making my own train cars with scroll saw.  I turned some wood for barrels for train cargo.  I can print some labels and detail some brand names for cars.

Here is 1 minute video of my unique locomotive.
