Title: Hello, everyone!
Post by: Barcroft on February 27, 2016, 04:40:15 pm

 ;D ;D
Howdy, howdy!
Retired pharmacist here, looking forward to learning how to make sawdust with my first scroll saw, a birthday gift from my better 2/3 yesterday.  I've spent the last few years making hand-crafted wooden signs, and decided to expand the fun.
I'll be asking questions, for sure, and hope to provide some answers, too, as time goes on.
Glad to be here!

Greetings from Texas.  Look into all the various uses of a scroll saw.  Most just do fret work but there are many other ways to make sawdust with a scroll saw including:  Lettering, Intarsia, Compound cutting, Toy making, Double bevel inlay,(My favorite) Segmentation,  and bowl or basket making.
