Title: Hello!
Post by: Matthew Harper on January 07, 2015, 03:17:50 pm

I'm 14 years old and have an old craftsman that only accepts pinned blades. I got it at a garage sale for 15$ and it has paid itself back and more! I have been saving up for a 400$ delta, but to someone my age who isn't old enough to get a job...that's a lot of money. I'm excited to join this forum, I have been watching Steve's videos for awhile and have used lots of his great patterns!

Welcome to the forum Matthew.  I'm Al from TN and glad to have you with us.  I admire your attitude towards scroll sawing.  Keep saving and good things will happen for you.  When you get a chance, show us some of the work you have been doing.

Hi Matthew, welcome to the forum.  I'm Marg from Australia.  It great to see someone of your age loving scrolling so much.  You will have to sell more of your work to get the money for you new saw.   ;)

Welcome Matt and good on you making things and selling them. Not as easy as it sounds and speaks well of your craftsmanship. Looking forward to seeing your stuff in upcoming posts.
