Howdy from Arkansas
« on: February 12, 2012, 11:07:53 pm »
I'm Luke. I am brand new to scrolling. The main reason I thought of purchasing a scroll saw was due to the huge amount of cedar and pine that my dad saws at his sawmill. Most of my material is actually waste pieces (slabs) that have workable surfaces. I found the forum from Steve's blog. I built my first scroll saw project, a circular jewelry box my girlfriend, this morning, and I can officially say I am hooked.

Glad to be here,
Luke

    Hi S H. welcome. You have arrived in the right place, plenty of world class advice here, just ask as many questions as you like in the genral section, someone will have done it. The scroll saw is addictive, you will soon be making plenty of sawdust like your dad.     Iggy (south Wales UK)  ;D
