Hi Fellow Scrollers
I am an inexperienced hobby scroller, from Cape Town, South Africa. I have a very limited space to work with wood, and searched for a hobby that would match. Needless to say, I discovered scrolling and about 20 months ago I bought a used Hegner Multicut2, single speed.
I then started watching all the available youtube videos on scrolling. I have made a few name plates, and name key rings, and various other starter patterns. Now I am exploring working on portraits.
My biggest problem is obtaining scrolling resources. There is no local presence for anything and virtually everything must be imported. This increases my costs, and makes the hobby very expensive.
However, the fact that I am here means I am forging ahead, and trying to make the best of the situation. I have a very stressful job, and watching the blade follow the line as I cut through wood has been very soothing and rewarding. And I get to make something, including a small heap of wood dust! What more can I ask for?
Thanks everyone for being part of this forum and allowing me to be a new member. I look forward to our future interactions.
Kind regards
Tyrone Ford, Hobby Scroller!
