Basic Techniques

[Travis]

With a lot of new folks getting into the scrolling hobby, sometimes the basic information is hard to come by. While many of us have been doing this awhile, we often forget that someone who's brand new to the hobby may not know some of the basics we all take for granted. Things like how to apply a pattern or where to put pilot holes.

 

This is where you can help. We're in need of some basic instruction for the Wiki that we can point our new friends to.

 

Currently we have 4 sections covering basic techniques:

 

[*:vftnd9ym]Pattern Application
[*:vftnd9ym]Cutting Techniques
[*:vftnd9ym]Stack Cutting
[*:vftnd9ym]Finishing Techniques

 

If there is another section that we're overlooking, please let us know. Also, don't get too concerned about how to format a wiki page. Information is the key here. If you can type, you can easily help us out by clicking the edit button at the top of the article. Formatting can be done at a later date.

 

We also have Basic Tools wiki article that needs flushed out. This would be the bare minimum tools needed to get started in scroll sawing. Many new scrollers are overwhelmed by the tools available. But we all know that we only need a handful of very inexpensive tools to get started. So any help with that article is also welcomed.

 

So if you're interested in helping out, we'd all be very appreciative!

Anybody want to show off their expertise and take a crack at the wiki pages? It's a blank slate. It's all pretty easy. Just act like you're writing a forum post. Ignore all of the fancy wiki code and formatting. Someone will come along later and put that in. If you need any help, I'd be glad to assist.

Great job on the Basic Tools page Chris. That should come in handy for any new scroller.

That turned out great, Chris! Thank you for the article!

 

There's still plenty of room for the other how-to articles. Stack cutting article would be an easy one for someone to tackle. Or you can add to the Pattern Application or Basic tools articles.

 

Any help for our scrolling friends that are new to the hobby is greatly appreciated.
