thought I'd finally join after swiping patterns
« on: June 28, 2011, 09:27:24 pm »
Hi everyone. I'm Susan and I'm a compulsive crafter.

Glad to get that off my chest. I live in Missouri and have been scroll sawing for about 12 years. I also crochet, embroider, fuse glass, make jewelry, quilt, sew, paper craft, etc... I sell some of my items on Etsy and have even recently posted two scroll saw videos on youtube (on the encouragement of John Lewman of Toymaker Press).

I love my Dewalt saw, but it has been temperamental lately, so my hubby recently gifted me with an Excalibur. He's a woodworker on a grander scale and likes to provide me with power tools. Still getting used to the Excalibur but my only complaint so far is the blade holders. Too hard to get the blade in straight.

Been downloading and making Steve's patterns for a while now. Truly the best scroll saw pattern resource there is!

Hi Susan!

Welcome. You'll find much more ideas in here.
Post a thread on the blade clamp thing, I bet this problem is no big deal then.

Welcome Susan. I'm Kim from Texas. Found your videos on YouTube. You did a great job on them. I like all the little tips you throw in as you're working. Hope you make some more. Glad to have you, we can use someone with your talent to help us out. Could you tell us a little more about the machine you used to apply the adhesive to the patterns?
