Old Newbie
« on: December 07, 2012, 05:17:51 pm »
Hello All,

My name is Dean and I am currently living in Southern Illinois.

I guess I would consider myself as new to scrolling, although I have had my scroll saw for approximately 20 years. It is a Craftsman 23618 (Antique) bought new for me by my parents after I had completed some gifts for them made with a coping saw. For whatever reason, I got away from scrolling, but my current situation provides me with a lot of "alone" time so I dug out my saw, knocked the dust off and decided to start making saw dust again. I have been modifying my saw to make it a little easier to use until I am able to upgrade. Bought thumb screws for the blade changes, increased the size of the thumb screw for the blade tension, and of course, after all this time the blower rotted out so I installed an aquarium air pump.

I have read through most of the forum and have already picked up a lot of good tips. I am glad I found this forum and Steve's website.

Happy scrolling

Dean

Thanks for all the welcomes. I have been busy practicing with the scroll saw and actually completed a few projects that I will be giving as gifts for Christmas. Leaving for Arizona tomorrow to spend the holidays with the family.

Thanks again to everyone here for all the very informative tips, ideas, patterns and fun. looking forward to many years of scrolling, I'm hooked :)

Wishing you all a merry Christmas and happy and safe holiday season.

Dean
