Hello and welcome! You'll find so many helpful people on this site. As a new scroller, you'll probably have questions, and these people will be happy to supply answers. Most of scrolling is simply practice, and getting used to the saw, but there are some tricks that you'll pick up from reading the blog every day.
My husband says the main difference in running a scroll saw, from any other saw, is that you have to keep your fingers constantly moving, and close to the blade. Of course this is just the opposite of what you would do on something like a table saw or bandsaw, but you'll get used to it. Steve Good likes to say that a scroll saw is an "ouch machine" compared to some of the other truly dangerous tools out there.
Relax and enjoy yourself!
