Kens_Kreations Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I just bought a scroll saw with my tax return this year. I have never found anything "artistic" that I am good at, except writing poetry. I do not know any of the terms that I am sure I will be seeing tossed around, so I hope to learn as a visit here. Most of my time is spent working to support my family. I work full time as a cook in a cafe in Valentine, NE and I am also a clerk at a gas station. Tornado season will be coming to our area soon enough and that will also eat into my wood working time as I chase severe weather as well. But when I am not doing one of those 3 or sleeping, I am in my wood shop. Gonna try to post my first project, I just finished today. If I don't get it posted here I will figure it out soon enough.

Jim Finn Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 nice scroll work! A background with less grain would make it stand out better. Sure is pretty . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayton717 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 great job on the cutting. I agree with Jim less grain in the background really would make the eagle stand out better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gknowles Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Well hello there! I would like to welcome you to the forum though I am new here as well. You have a very nice work going there! I agree that it should have been a plain background plate so that it would stand out more, like suggested here. Great job still! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kens_Kreations Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks Kevin. As of now my workshop is a bit of a joke. We are just moving into a house we bought for 8K, 2 bedroom with a full basement. House sat vacant for a few years. Water pipe burst in basement in winter and they water meter reader finally noticed it in the fall. Luckily the floor drain was not clogged, but house was full of black mold. All surface mold so it was easily cleared out, had the fun of patching all my test holes in the walls. As soon as we get the funds I will be building a new work shop next to our house. Everything in my workshop now is jumbled together on a couple of home made tables. I'll keep ya posted on the progress of new shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
