Title: Hi from the UK
Post by: Martin on January 23, 2013, 05:45:05 am

New to woodwork of any description, not just scrolling. I've always thought that metal was for making things, and wood was for burning. :) That outlook is changing rapidly after I managed to get a scroll saw relatively cheap. As I have Raynaud's phenomenon, I had been looking for something a little warmer to the touch to keep me occupied over the winter, and after doing some repairs to a friend's saw and having a brief go with it, I decided to give scroll sawing a go. A quick search for more info led here, and it looks like I have a lot to learn, even though at first it seemed relatively easy.

Hi Martin and welcome to the forum.  i'm Julie from Texas.  Glad you've joined us.  It really is relatively easy, it just takes some practice and patience.  Sometimes a lot of both.  Jump on in and see where your creativity takes you.

hello Martin :from central part of Missouri: Great to hear your going for it, just start simple and get your self dusty, thats what I'm doing, loving it, Id rather do this than watch TV which there is not much to learn from anyway. This is actually more relaxing and enjoyable and it keeps all your motor skills turning, plus I can do mine in the comfort of my basement where I have a 10 x 10 area just for my scrolling and other woodwork and fixing things. Don't forget to keep those honey to do lists handy next to your work bench, so when the wife comes to your work area, she thinks your right on it.  Ha1 Ha! Gary
