My Progress Report...................................


Recommended Posts

It's almost been a year since I bought my nice Dewalt scroll saw and have cut over two hundred items/projects with it.
Everything I scrolled has been top notch with only having two failures that ended up as kindling.
I'm trying to gauge my real progress in relation to how much time I have invested in Ass Hours getting those projects completed.
The example posted here was done over the last two days with a total of 5 hours in A H
I look at patterns and to scroll guessing how long it would take to complete and 99% of the time it's way underestimated.
I watch in awe, Youtube scrollers with many years experience scroll in real time.
I'm thinking my skills are not too bad but my confidence is where I'm lacking.
Should I be satisfied taking five hours to scroll something simple as the example???

Are you enjoying it? Are you learning? Are you looking forward to your next project?  Time spent doing these things is time well spent. 

I hear ya...  Ain't getting any younger. A quicker pace would mean more time to accomplish more projects...

What's the rush? You got a bus to catch? It's a hobby. A "pass-time".

WOW! 200 projects, that's amazing. For all the years I've been scrolling I don't think I've gotten half that number, I got me some catchi'n up to do (lol) How long you take to complete a project it strictly up to you, no one else really gets a vote. Work at a pace that's comfortable for you. Heck my current project I've been working on since May, but I only get a few hours a weeks and my work pace is real slow.

Enjoy the time at the saw and in your shop, there's no speed requirement or limit!

The number of items add up quickly when you make a lot of smalls: tea lite and cell phone holders etc that I give away.  I'm retired and with a bad back and poor circulation in my legs, I want to be efficient with the amount of A H spent scrolling. To me efficiency means progress at what I set out to do.
