JulieF, I am in the Dallas area.  I'm not sure where Thrall is.  Is it close to Dallas?

Peter,  my user name refers to my Truck, as in Ford Raptor SVT.

Thanks,

Introduce Yourself. / Hello from Texas

Hi Everyone,  I have been woodworking for about 12 years but recently started loving scrolling.  That's all I seem to and want to do now.  Steve's site and videos have been very helpful and terrific.  Thank you Steve for your leadership.  I want to also thank everyone who posts so that newbie's like me can continue to learn.  I'm been scrolling with a Hitachi CW-40 I got as a gift years ago.  I'd sure like to upgrade soon.  There is a ton of info about EX-21s and the 788.  I have "permission" to buy the 788, but don't have permission to buy the EX-21.  Torn at the moment.  I'm having fun with what I have!  Great hobby and everyone enjoys the gifts I have given them made on the scroll saw.

Thanks,

Chris

Ask Steve a question. / 1/2" MDO

Steve, do you have a recommendation on a blade to use on 1/2" sign board?  It has veneered paper on both sides and I'm having trouble with it.  I've used an FD-TC No. 5 but very slow to cut.  By the way,  I enjoy your website and emails. 

Thanks,

Chris
