I just want to say how much I really appreciate this scrollsaw site. It has helped me so much in the past 6 months as I work to learn my new hobby. Honestly without it I doubt I would be working so much with my saw and doing half the things I have done.
I got a wood lathe about 11 years ago. I worked on it for 2 years teaching myself how to use it. I love my lathe, but it isn't easy learning when you have no one to help or encourage you. Don't get me wrong, my wife encourages me for all I do, but she doesn't know anything about these tools.
After 2 years of working with a lathe I made about 5 or 6 projects and that is all. Then my lathe had to be put into storage for 9 years while we lived in places which did not have the accommodations to work with it. Now I have it out and thought I would just hop on the computer and go to a site similar to this on for wood turners.
Well, sad thing is there is not a site even close to what this one does. Most the sites are local and most all of them want you to pay some yearly membership fee to their association. It is a sad thing for wood turners that they don't have such a site. But for us scroll saw enthusiasts, I love this site and we are lucky to have it. Thanks Steve Good.
