Travis Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm curious about how long folks have been scrolling. I thought it would be fun to see who our most senior (or is that experienced?) scroller here. So, h'bout it? How long have you been scrolling? I'm not talking about how long you've had a scroll saw sitting in the corner gathering dust. But rather actual scrolling where you're using your scroll saw as a primary tool for making stuff.

Travis Posted July 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I've been scrolling since 2008. So I guess that would make 5 years for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kepy Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I bought my first scrolling jig saw at a garage sale in 1974 and started making Christmas ornaments of my own design every year that were dated and I sent them instead of cards. Didn't have the internet and sure couldn't find any patterns back then. Guess that makes 39 yrs or the same as my age for me.

woodworker13403A Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I started scrolling in 1994 cutting shapes for my wife to paint and then more of the fret work after I buried her in blanks. I started with a 13 inch craftman then quickly moved to a 16" craftman and then in '96 or '97 upgraded to the DeWalt 788 (type one).
