Introduce Yourself. / Hi from Vermont

Good day to all the scrollers,
First and foremost, Thank you Steve Good for the most incredible web site for patterns, forums, instructions about scrolling! Just incredible!
I've been a scroller in the beautiful Burlington , Vermont area for over 15 years and just love scrolling! I even taught all 4 of my kids to scroll so once in a while, they get to do sawdust with me and that is my biggest reward!

I scroll as Hobby but have been doing about 30 h a week the last 6 month so its almost a full time job. My full time job is Database Administrator.  Almost looking forward to retiring! I'm not big at bragging but here's a fishing trophy i made for the Champlain Valley Hardwater Tournament Series last winter.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: where do you buy your blades and what kind?

I use Olson's #5, #7 and #9. I buy them from Sloan's Woodshop or Seyco.  I've found these blades to have the sharpest edges, they stay sharp very long and the finished cut is almost polished! I never need to sand the inside of my cuts. I have also tryed the O;son Mach speed, they are as sharp as the PGT but do not last half as long as the PGTs.

I'm sold to the PGTs
