Title: Closet Scroller
Post by: RayS on July 02, 2010, 06:59:49 pm: Hi thanks Steve for creating this forum and sorting out my hassles with registering :D

I have a varied background in metal and woodwork which my working life covered. Much was left behind while I drove Coaches for many years till the call of wood had me at a wood show.

All down hill from there.

Scroll saw wasn't something I thought I'd get into but the wife decided she would so a Scheppac scroll saw was purchased, LOML is also into fibres and working with wood doesn't go to well on the hands and fine fibres like silk. So the machine sat forlorn on the shelf. I have decided it gets some use o it goes.

My first use is trimming pen blanks prior getting bandsaw ::).

I have progressed I made Steve's Drop Clown x 3 for the grandkids with a variation to the clown now in progress.

Expect lots of questions it a total new area .

Well it's not really a fear... it's just that when I see one I'm torn between running away or punching it out. :o

There are a lot of people who feel the same way you do about clowns.

Can I have a boy clown with pants on" he's 3 so I did if i can work out how to load pics to this site I'll put a plan up I created. I did email Steve with it also.
