I'm Alex. My background is in 3d printing, 3d modeling, CAD/CAM, and animation. I am a software engineer, and I really enjoy this as a way to relax. I'm relatively new at scroll sawing. I started with a budget based saw from HF and just purchased a Porter Cable 18 Inch Scroll Saw, after a small struggle to get the handle on toolless blade changes (which were 1000 time better than the HF way) and about 11 spiral blades breaking - on the twelfth blade, I found my groove with this and I finished cutting my first portrait with it. Now I am in the process of choosing how to finish that and attach it to a backing surface, and I have so many questions about how to do this correctly. I'm constantly learning something new with this and I find that thrilling.
Hello everyone! I look forward to learning from and one day contributing something to the benefit of this group.
