I am a hobbyist scroller but more importantly a lucky husband and father!

In 2022 I fired up my old craftsman and started scrolling for the first time in probably 20 years. i did a few simple projects and then some nice Steve Good patterns including a modified nurse pattern for my daughter in laws graduation.

In January I suffered a stroke. I am fortunate that it did not affect me cognitively, but it did leave my left side flacid. So, i invested in a Dewalt 788 (got a great deal) because of the ease with changing the blade with one hand. I will use a hack that Steve Good shared a few years ago to hold the blade. My belief is that scrolling will assist in rehabing my hand.

Looking foward to sharing my findings!

Welcome to the Village.  Lots of friendly helpful people here. Any questions you may have feel free to ask.  Be sure to check out our pattern library, there are so great patterns there.

Thank You. I have been exploring and have just touched the surface.

Welcome to our family of scrollers. I am amazed  you can scroll with one hand somewhat challenged. I sure hope you will see some improvement with it as time goes on. We all want to get to know you a better so log on often and anticipate often.
