Hello!
« on: December 08, 2011, 05:20:09 pm »
Hi everyone - my name is Tim and I just got my EX16 a week or so ago.  I had Steve design 8 personalized Christmas ornaments for me and I finished them up last weekend.  They're a little rough, but not bad for my first project ever... LOL. If you've ever watched Food Network Challenge, just picture Carrie saying, "You were a little too ambitious for your first time."

I do love the saw, though, and I'm working on Steve's simpler christmas tree ornament (10 of them) for the other side of the family.  Looking forward to learning great things here.

Hi Tim, welcome to the forum, I'm Keith from Cornwall UK. I picked up my new EX16 this afternoon so in the morning you can guess who's setting up his new saw lol. They are a great bunch of people here and everyone is so helpfull. Why don't you post a picture of your work?  whether you are a newbie like me or an experienced scroller, it's nice to see the different work produced. Everyone has to start at the beginning of their learning curve, and as it's your first piece ever, you should be really proud of it.

Thank you for the kind words.  After I finish the last of the ornaments, my next projects will be a portrait of my girlfriend and her dad which I designed from photos using photoshop:

Hi Tim and welcome to the forum.  I'm Julie from Texas.  Glad you joined us.  Keep up the great work.  There's nothing wrong with "too ambitious".  It just means you plan on bigger and better things.
