norman schafer Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 WOW! This is exciting. I'm Norman and my wife, LaVerna. We live in NW Washington about five miles from the Canadian border. I love to scroll and have made some nice projects. My first one was a Noah's Ark shadow box w/animals. Another that I'm proud of is a Lichterbogen Nativity scene by Arnold Volker. I entered them in the NW Washington Fair last Fall and received two Blue Ribbons. Just recently I finished a Round roof Mail box, modeled after the barn my grand-pa built in 1929. It was before they had electricity and commercial concrete, no power saws. It's just awesome to think about. we are so blessed to have all these nice tools. My first fretsaw as we called it was hand powered. Now I have a nice Delta 18" Q3 a far cry from that hand driven fret saw, but I loved it too. This is enough about me for now and I hope to make some new scrolling friends. Scrolling Norman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Hi Norman. Welcome to the Village. We'd love to see some of your work. You can set up a User Gallery (you can find a [tut]tutorial here[/tut]). I really love Volker's designs. I haven't cut one yet, but I really like his Christmas Pyramids and Lichterbogens. I've talked to him a couple of times. Really nice guy. Also, congrats on the blue ribbons. I love going to the fair and seeing what others come up with. Sounds like the round roof mailbox might be a contender next round. Anyway, we're glad to have you on board. Jump on in and have some fun.
