Hello to all!!
« on: April 10, 2013, 11:31:03 pm »
Hello everyone. <My name is Jonathan, I live in Western KY. I am new to scroll sawing, I have a Sears pin type scroll saw and have used it a little in the past. My wife recently bought me a Dewalt 788 scroll saw (just waiting for delivery :) I am hoping to become proficient at this hobby. I had a good friend named Dave Gerzan that spent 60+ hrs a week in his shop making various scroll saw goodies. Dave passed away, he took his work very seriously, and enjoyed this hobby.  Also I enjoy Amateur Radio, mainly during the winter months. My wife put gas heat in my workshop for Christmas, so I wasn't around the radio much :)

Hey Jonathan, welcome to the forum! I'm Dan from Southern California. Compared to your old saw, you are going to love the DeWalt! Make sure you get some good plain end blades from www.mikesworkshop.com and you will be ready to jump right in, so come on in and join the fun!

Welcome from Central Ohio. Your wife seems kind of committed to keeping you in the workshop...
Well I thought so too....well until the table saw bit my left index finger. I was building my wife a pie safe while waiting for my new Dewalt 788 to come in. Well long story short.....while ripping a 1X8 pine board a few pieces of a pine knot hit me in the face, to which I was wearing safety glass :) but I flinched and as a result I pushed away and touched the saw blade. Unfortunately I had removed the guard to use a dado blade and failed to put it back.....short trip to the ER and 5 stitches later all is good. They couldn't numb my finger so it was a little extra pain. But I'm not counting fractions :) Note to self--always use safety guard. The one time I didn't use it........
