Iggygiles Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Hi everyone. My name is Ian Giles (Iggy) I live in S Wales (UK). I have been messing with Scroll Saws for a year or so now, but have been making Cabinets and furniture all my life (Not as a profession). Since my retirement 2 years ago, I have set up my workshop for woodworking, (Garage) and have been plonking around in there (weather permitting- No heat) ever since. Since I do not make a living at it, I have decided that Scroll Saw work is good because of the cost of the stuff, and making tiny things instead of big things is a complete change from boring old standard joints, and a complete new learning curb with an inordinate amount of stuff out there to do, I guess it will last me a lifetime and beyond. I have built myself a coffin with a small workshop on the end and requested that I be buried with my EX21 and a few dozen FD blades from Mike. iggygiles@aol.com.

heppnerguy Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 I am so excited to welcome you to Scroll Saw Village...I too was into building some furniture but I moved to another city and no longer had my large wood shop and also because of the high cost of materials, decided to try something a little different...so I took up intarsia and enjoyed that for about 3 years or so...I never really liked much of the scroll items that I had seen but I wanted a change so I looked up some scroll saw web pages and discovered that scroll was much more than extremely hard fret work or too simple silhouette items that i did not care to make.. I discovered some nice patterns that appealed to me and I tried one and I have been doing scrolling for almost a year now and enjoy it more than I probably should allow myself to do...hope to see you on Scroll Saw Village often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
