Steve, I purchased a scroll saw a few years ago but have never used it. Been too afraid of messing up. Since I found your site I think I am ready to give it a shot. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you have put into it. My 12 year old son and I are studying everything we can before we start. Looking forward to our first completed project. Why you don't charge for all this is a mystery but be assured, a donation is forthcoming.

There comes a time when you have to get your hands dusty. That time is now! Stop studying and dive in. Chances are your first few attempts won't go so well, but will soon improve. The best learning tool is hands on experience!
welcome to the forum. So we can welcome you better, go over to the introduction page, and introduce yourself!

Thanks Boutime, I agree with dgman. Jump on in and make some saw dust. If you get a chance send me a picture of first project you and your son finish. The thing I like to hear the most is that your son is working with you.

You can bet your bottom dollar that the first few things will be designer firewood but don't worry you will get better with practice.

Messing up??? Once the pattern comes off - no one knows exactly how you messed up. What a great way to spend time with your son. Jump in and get sawdusty!

Absolutly!! learn by doing. Sawing is a lot more fun than reading (except this forum of course ;) )

Just the other night I happened to 'find' my very first attempt at scrolling! Nothing elaborate, just a key hanger that never quite got totally finished.
I look at it now and wonder, "Did I really do that?"
BUT it got me started doing something I really enjoy and I wish I had a 12 year old youngster to enjoy this hobby with.
As stated...QUIT Reading and START CUTTING!!!
