Stephanie Trombino Posted March 3, 2024 Report Posted March 3, 2024 Hi everybody, I started scrolling a few years ago when my husband gave me a Century saw from Harbor Freight. Unfortunately I never really practiced and just took on the occasional project. I was frustrated because I felt clumsy and didn't know what kinds of projects to do. I am still very much a newbie. I made Christmas ornaments for some friends at work, and they turned out pretty well. I way overworked them in finishing - sanding them to death, agonizing over stains - but overall I was pleased. Since then I've done some other small things with mixed results. I cut a bear with pine trees and it came out so well I'm afraid to paint or stain it in case I mess it up I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here! jollyred, ChelCass, OCtoolguy and 4 others 7 Quote

OCtoolguy Posted March 3, 2024 Report Posted March 3, 2024 Hi and welcome to SSV from So. Cal. Please post pics of your work so we can keep up with your progress. We've all been where you are. I've been at it now for almost 10 years and learn something new all the time. I went from a started saw like yours to having 3 of the best saws made. I couldn't part with any of them. Bought them all used. bobscroll 1 Quote
