This work shop was run by the Manawatu guild of Woodworker scroll saw section and have been held for about 8 years on a regular basis,the first project was a simple stand up butterfly and consisted of fret, veining and scroll cutting simple but a very good exercise, the second was a choice on compound or a jigsaw, I choose the compound that was also a jig saw puzzle, and we also had around 2 hours of discussions plus also mixing with and talking to other scrollers, and yes Russ that is Merlin, I think Blackie had gone out for a few moments, and yes the Excalibur is still a great saw but unfortunately the NZ suppliers have let me down on the repairs that were supposed to be done
This was my second work shop and will definitely attend other as they come around, I will post tyhe projects when I get some time

Great write up Jimbo, That was also my second year. Had a great time, but that damn puzzle has me stumped. 3/4 inch square and bout 6 inch long (compound) I still think the pattern is wrong.
As Jimbo said it has been going about 8 years and this has our second (but it is only once a year), I wood like to see it twice a year, but I live a lot closer than some.

Hey Merlin the puzzle is simple, I have made 10 took about 30 mins. to cut I think they will sell well, also have done a heap of the butterfly
