Dak0ta52 Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Welcome form North Carolina. There is a lot of experience from the members here. I've learned a lot in the year I've been scrolling. I won't take long for you to find your way with scrolling. And remember the members here like to see pics of your projects. topper55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 Welcome to the Village Dave. I guess you have discovered that scrolling is addictive by now and that there is no known cure. Marg topper55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topper55 Posted June 9, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2022 Thank You heppnerguy , I have to say this site is first class And the members made me feel right at home from the very first day , I have picked up some brilliant tips and ideas and the patterns that are available well just spoilt for choice , I dont have to go hunting here n there for them , Some of the sites i have looked at it seems they expect everyone to be an expert right from the start and that makes you feel as tho you cannot ask the basic questions , No so with this Group just the opposite members are very happy to help . Thanks again Tony heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Tony It is one happy family here.. The regulars change once in awhile and then sometimes after awhile they return. sometimes we have one of them pass away and that hurts everyone here and they are missed by all. I have made the effort to meet some of the individuals here in The Village and have made some really great new friends as a result. I made an appointment with Travis Cook who started and continues to run this wonderful site and he told me, at the time, I was the first person on the site that he met personally. So happy you are here. We love seeing our family grow and it is always fun to see how others are doing. One nice thing about the people here is they all remember that they had their first time at the saw and often were in awe at the works they saw others doing. I have been scrolling since about 2014 and still I am only a mediocre scroller, but that is ok with me, as I enjoy the hobby a lot and have some of my work in Europe as well as Japan. So hang in there and continue cutting away and most of all have fun with what you do. Dick heppnerguy topper55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxfold Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Welcome to the Village Tony from here in sunny Doncaster. As you've noticed, it's a lovely, friendly place to be. I came here as a complete rookie, knowing absolutely nothing about a scrollsaw and all these good people chipped in and helped. They never thought my 'newbie' questions were silly and took the time and patience to teach me. They are an amazing family. I've tried elsewhere to join various groups but have left because, as you say, they made me feel quite inadequate sometimes. One even asked 'why would you take up scrolling so late in life ? I'm 70yrs. What's the point ?'' Well, with the help of this Village family I've gone from plain and simple silhouettes to complex fretwork and I'm still loving every minute. Enjoy your new hobby but be aware it's quite addictive topper55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
