Hello I am am English woman new to the Scrollsaw but using some very old kit, a Hobbies A1 treadle scroll saw which I am really enjoying learning on. I also have a pole lathe and do a lot of green wood working including wood carving. I got the scrollsaw off Ebay to bulk out the equipment I use at demonstrations and I am now managing to make to very basic shapes Hearts, stars, rabbit outlines, as i said very basic! I am hoping I can use the saw to help make love spoons and generally experiment how I can use the equipment with green wood. As you can probably work out I am a bit of a dinosaur on here as I wood work in a very medieval style with no electical assistance bar the occasional use of a cordless drill and a band saw.
