Introduce Yourself. / Greetings from underneath a snow drift
« on: December 10, 2016, 07:08:39 pm »
Living near Erie, PA (down the road from the infamous Buffalo) we get our share of winter storms and scroll sawing seems to be a good way to take my mind off what is happening.
I am using an old Delta 2-speed that was on Craig's List for $50. I thought it would be good enough to try the hobby and see how I liked it. I have watched many YouTube videos (thank you Steve and others) and picked up enough to use the saw and realize how little I know and how difficult it is to do the beautiful work I see on the forum. But the interest is there and I am getting a little better. I work on some of the easier free patterns and many Christmas decorations and the collection of gift tags. I am starting to think about my next saw.
Thank you for the opportunity to learn from the other forum members and to expand my interest in sawing. I believe it will be a long and entertaining activity.
