Welcome

[Vickie]

Hello.  My name is Vickie. I took a five year break from my saws. The last few months I have gotten back the urge to cut again. You see five years ago almost to the day my son was killed in Afghanistan. I didn't think I would ever cut again. Had I not continued to receive the emails from Steve Good I probably would never have gotten the desire to cut again. I look forward to chat with everyone.

Ok I don't know if I'm doing this right but here goes.......I'm Darlene from South Central Idaho, retired baker and chef.  Have had a scroll saw for a number of years.  I may have even used it years ago, just don't remember what or when.  Any who now that I'm retired I want to get back to it.  I'm impressed with this site and all that Steve does.  Thanks for sharing and allowing me to share too.  I have much to learn, and a lot of patterns to try...

Hi, My name is hangman. I am from Boulder, CO and have been making furniture and cabinets as a hobby for the past thirty years and just now thinking of taking up scroll sawing as a new hobby. Been researching all of the saws out there and leaning toward the DeWalt since I need to keep my initial investment in the more reasonable range. This site is wonderful. 

Thanks,

Hello people; I'm new to the forum. About me-Toller, my handle, is from having had a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, toller for short. He was a fantastic dog. Actual identity Leo Weisman from Saint Charles, Missouri.

I'm only now trying to become good at using the scroll saw though have noodled around with them for many years and owned many. I now have a Delta 20" 40-694 Variable Speed Scroll Saw. I have found it helps to be a part of a woodworking community to move forward. I joined the St. Louis Woodworker's Guild www.slwg.org/ 2 years ago and learned of this forum from one of our masters in fretwork and every sanding method known to mankind. I'm at best a very experienced, knowledgeable, mediocre woodwork but that doesn't deter me. Seeing the members fretwork and pierced bowls, 3D ornaments and Intrasia have finally pulled me in.

So it is practice, practice practice; learning to follow a line and not crowd the blade, buying good blades and learning some amount of patience. As originally equipped, I didn't have any.

Glad to be able to join you

Hello Steve,

My wife and I have recently started scroll sawing and after about 9 months, I think it is safe to say that we are obsessed with all things scroll saw. Thank you for all the terrific free online patterns, we even purchased one of your pattern catalog DVD's. Terrific site! Long live the Scrollsaw Workshop website!
