Hi from the UK
« on: January 23, 2013, 05:45:05 am »
New to woodwork of any description, not just scrolling. I've always thought that metal was for making things, and wood was for burning. :) That outlook is changing rapidly after I managed to get a scroll saw relatively cheap. As I have Raynaud's phenomenon, I had been looking for something a little warmer to the touch to keep me occupied over the winter, and after doing some repairs to a friend's saw and having a brief go with it, I decided to give scroll sawing a go. A quick search for more info led here, and it looks like I have a lot to learn, even though at first it seemed relatively easy.

Hi Martin and welcome to the forum.  i'm Julie from Texas.  Glad you've joined us.  It really is relatively easy, it just takes some practice and patience.  Sometimes a lot of both.  Jump on in and see where your creativity takes you.
