First things you made
« on: April 30, 2010, 08:53:59 pm »
This is the first thing I made from start to finish.  I keep it hung up in my shop.  It's from a tattoo pattern that I altered.

Do you have pictures of the first things you made?

The internet and digital cameras were not around when I started but my first projects were personalized Christmas ornaments that were dated.  I sent them to family members in place of cards and had a new design each year.

 As I've mentioned before on here. I started out scrolling back in the mid 50's, and the following pictures are my very first project and the tools I used. Didn't know there was such a thing as an actual scroll saw as we know it today. My Dad showed me how to set things up and how to use them.

My first project was an Intarsia design. I used a 4 inch grinder and and lots of sandpaper. I am now hooked on the scroll saw. My first projects have been attempts at patterns graciously provided by Steve. I have nothing of merit yet to show but I am undaunted by that and will sally forth. Thank you Steve for your generosity and thank you Janet for the idea of using tattoos as patterns..

Here is a plaque Steve was kind enough to make a pattern for me. I also made one from his sight on girls volleyball for a grand daughter and wanted a diver for my grandson. Don't seem to have a pic of the volleyball plaque. Made this as one of my first projects on my Ryobi which I purchased to see if I would like scrolling.

This is the first thing I ever made.  It was made in 1996.  I still have it.  It was dropped and broken once, but I was able to repair it to where now even I can't remember or find where it was broke before.  Sorry the picture quality isn't the best.

The first thing I made was from a pattern on Steve's website.  It was a feather with a wolf in the center.  It is around here somewhere but I can't put my hand on it right now.  I do know I was hooked right away, though :)

here is my first salvageable scroll saw endeavor.  After a few failures I got one that I could actually peal off the pattern and it looked like what I was hoping it would. Again, thanks Janet..for the tattoo idea.
