Title: Newbie from Cape Cod
Post by: etcher on December 31, 2012, 05:28:37 pm

Hi!!  I actually stumbled upon Steve's videos on YouTube a few months ago and thought that I'd like to give it a try.  Well, Santa was apparently listening and I found a new Ryobi 16" scroll saw under the tree this Christmas.  After days of working in the basement and clearing a space, I now have an area for the saw to be placed.  Now all I have to do is turn it on...

Normally, I work with many different crafts (knitting, crocheting, egg carving, pyrography, resin, etc...) so when I saw scroll sawing, I thought it would be something I could get into and possibly incorporate my other craft skills. I initially tried to hand carve wood in order to do a resin inlay but I about broke my hand trying to free hand with the Dremel.  Then I tried to use my Turbo Carver, that I use for carving egg shells, but it didn't remove enough material in a reasonable amount of time (egg carving is ridiculously tedious to do...but I like it).  So...I figured I give a scroll saw a try.  Thanks Steve!!

Anyway...here I am!
