Popular Post Eplfan2011 Posted April 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 5, 2023 Today's offering is another Steve Good pattern. Cut on 12x12in BB and a #1 FD polar blade. Normally I'll use a spiral on these sort of patterns but I'm trying to practice my control,hand placement and accuracy with a straight blade. Ive been at this scroll sawing about 4 months now if you take out a forced vacation due to a injury, and I've only just realized how important hand position and pivoting is! I've spent all this time trying to feed my wood round corners and recently discovered how much easier it is to use one hand as a pivot and one to drive... Duh At this rate I'm going to have to spend a month finishing a lot of this stuff ive been cutting. Any how fresh off the saw pattern on and off. Thanks for looking!

I have been paying attention to your posted work from the time you first joined with us and you have become quite the scroller. You obviously pay close attention to what you are working on and the posts show you have come a long way. Great job.

Dick heppnerguy Thanks Dick, I put a lot of my progress down to the advice all of you offer. I don't think that's there is another place on the internet where folks take so much of their time to offer advice and solve problems. I'm a little hard on myself as I come from the " if it's worth doing it's worth doing right " clan. As I said in the op having eventually worked out how to handle and spin the wood it's becoming enjoyable instead of frustrating. Anyway thanks to everyone for the encouragement and advice you should all be proud of yourselves!!!!! danny and heppnerguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry walters Posted April 7, 2023 Report Share Posted April 7, 2023 Coln. what you learned in 4 months took me years. When I finally caught on, I remembered watching my wife sew and noticed how she moved the material around. I guess that is why I heard ladies are very good scrollers, they apply what they have learned sewing to the scroll saw. Very nice work, Jerry Eplfan2011 and danny 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It caused me to go along with your view also, Women who sew probably have an easier time learning to scroll.
