Mr. Dave, I'm a self taught scroll sawyer with a day or two experience under my belt, & am no expert by no means, either. My friend, I have several friends that have far more experience than myself, & they will tell you there is no dumb question, & as far as the expert bit goes, well, that's a matter of ego, not ability.😉 The main idea is to learn something new every day, have the ability to put it to use in your habits, & be willing to help others. That's what we're here for.😊 I drove OTR for 35 years. Friendship, camaraderie, & being able to just slow down to ask questions & get advice BEFORE something bad happens is unheard of. So, for me, this site has been a learning experience from day one! I am into other aspects of woodworking besides scrolling. But scrolling is my favorite, because of the fascination of it! The fascination of the creation, the look I'm after when I'm done with the project. The folks I've met in the short time I've been a member of this site are knowledgeable, ready to answer any questions, & always have good things to say to one another!😊 keep sawin' & keep learning, Mr. Dave! Enjoy the day!😊😊😊
