Title: New member from Wisconsin
Post by: mikewix on February 27, 2015, 09:03:05 am

  Hello everyone;
        I thought I'd join your group, as I belong to several other scroll saw forums, and enjoy sharing my work and seeing what the rest of you are working on. Also  I've picked up lots of useful information and tips from these other sites and I'm sure I will get plenty more here. I do mostly portrait type scrolling and are a spiral blade user. Some say they are hard to use, guess I was lucky as they worked great for me with little practice. I will show some of my work so you'll know what I enjoy doing. Mike

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and gals. Paul it looks like we run into each other where ever we go, glad to see you here. How the moose coming? Mike's patterns are a little intimidating compared to Charlie's. They do take a little thought on where to cut next to keep them all together.

I am almost finished cutting.  On more area to complete, and you are correct, you have to plan your cuts.  That is why it is taking so long.  I have also found that you do best if you keep a good blade in.  The minute one seems to be getting dull, time to change.  I am loving it!
