Not a bad job at all for your first attempt. With a new saw as well that needed setting up too. What blades were you using? when I started I had the devils own job trying to follow the lines on patterns, it just wandered wherever it wanted to. Then I found this forum and was told blades make all the difference, I bought some FD UR blades from Mikes Workshop
(
www.mikesworkshop.com ) it improved my cutting instantly, I found I could follow lines a lot easier and within a week or so I even managed a plaque of my mum (pattern courtesy of our own Grampa on this forum)
