Title: Hello from Arkansas!
Post by: kizer1 on October 12, 2015, 08:46:30 pm

I'm a brand new scroller.  I purchased a used Hawk 226 vs. off Craig's list Tuesday. It looks brand new and is very smooth.  So far I'm really enjoying it!!  I have so many question I don't know where to start.  But for tonight I just wanted to introduce myself and read a lot of the questions already asked in the forum.  Looking forward to being able to make my kids and grandkids some neat presents. ( I hope you can teach an old dog new tricks) :)

Welcome to the forum! You made a wise choice on a saw for a beginner, Sir! You won't regret a minute of it! The folks at Hawk are more than willing to help you with all your questions. They also have a vast parts availability for repairs to the saw. I've got a 220 VS myself. My name is Brad. Enjoy your ventures!!

Thanks for the welcome Brad. I am truly enjoying my Hawk.  Made three little projects today, still braking a few blades.
I hope with more practice that will get better!!  Any pointers you can send my way will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome, Kizer1!  Good find on the big Hawk!  I once lived in AR (30+ years) and have a Hawk, too!  If you've made 3 projects already and broken some blades, it sounds like you're hooked already.  Did anyone mention how habit forming this hobby is?  Beware.

Hey, Wood Artist, are we talking Fort Smith?  Place was 63,000 pop. when I arrived there in '73.  Little different now, I believe.  Who's there to sell you woodworking supplies?
