Title: Howdy Scrolling People
Post by: SD Scroller on March 02, 2011, 03:50:14 am

Hi everyone, Mike here, from southern california.  Unfortunately i have a job, but scrolling is my hobby, and some day a Harley.  I am looking forward to learning from everyone and expanding my horizons beyond the simple project i am currently making. 
I have a Hegner saw that i bought 10 years ago and i love it, simple to use but it is not variable speed :(.
It has collected alot of dust from the garage over the past years, now i am starting to make some dust of my own.
By trade i am a computer guy so making the patterns and such is also something i can do. 

My kids got me started making names for them at christmas, and i haven't stopped scrolling since then. 

Feel free to give me any tips.

Mike

Hi Mike: Vince here from Florida. The best advice is to scroll, scroll and then scroll some more. Make sure you ask plenty of questions - you've hit the best group in the world, helpful at all times.

Hi Mike. Steve from PA. Lots of knowledge here. My tip for you is patience. When I first started(about a year ago) that was my biggest lesson. Take your time and enjoy it. If something doesn't feel right, look here on the forum. One of our experts has probably already talked about it. Have fun.
