Start off 2016 right!
« on: January 01, 2016, 08:00:00 am »
Hello to all,
I'm sort of a starter; I've had an old Skill scroller and used it a little, but nothing fancy. With retirement on the horizon, I decided I wanted to get serious about scrolling. After tons of research, here and across the web, I settled on an Excaliber 21.
I ordered it from Seyco on Dec 26 and received it yesterday. --- nice work over a holiday week, I would say!

Anyway, it set up nice and I started testing it right away, and I'm sure I made a great choice. It was packed well, the frame is about 3/16 or 1/4 steel, and it is solid as a rock. I'll post more as I get experience with the tool, and hopefully I'll have some projects to share.

Thanks for all the experiences you folks have shared here: it was a great help in getting off on to the next step of my scrolling adventure. By the way, today is the first day of my retirement!

Welcome to the forum, Johnny.  I'm Julie from Texas.  Glad to have you.  I bought my EX21 used from Ray at Seyco years and years ago.  Never regretted it.

Welcome to the forum Johnny.

You have come to the best site for scrolling information, have fun checking it all out.

My parents must have been psychic, as a child they were always telling me to 'Cut It Out'. So they knew a long time ago that I would become a scroll saw artist.
