    That's one of those questions that's hard to answer. You might consider yourself a beginner and others would consider you an expert. When you feel you have the confidence to move up in difficulty, you have advanced to the intermediate or advanced level. You're question asks about woodworking which covers a broad range. Some people are experts with a scrollsaw and beginners on a lathe and vice versa. Probably the easiest defination would be that if people want to buy your projects, you are no longer a beginner.
    Below are pictures of the first and second projects my boss did on my scrollsaw. She does have her Masters degree in Art, but had never used a scrollsaw before. I had her do the first lesson in The Scrollsaw Workbook and she went to these: The cross was her first. I couldn't rotate it and resize it without losing the quality.

    There's a fine line between woodworking and insanity, I'm just not sure which side of the line I'm on!

      your right woodworking does cover alot more range of things than I was thinking lol . Well I havent sold anything as of yet but I havent really tried to either,still trying to figure out the pricing, but I have moved a few steps up in doing the more difficult projects . both of those are very nice work and very well done .


      Thank you for the help

            I don't remember which one I used but I think it was somewhere around #12 which is .029 diameter. Anything between 12 and 19 will work you would just adjust your slot width. There is a pattern for bending it to shape do you have that?

            Old wooden plates.
            by Eugene Downes
            Over the years I've found that cutting old wooden plates can be very rewarding. Most of them are very good wood and when you finish your cut out the plate already has a nice finish on it.. I normally buy mine at yard sales or Good Will whenever I can find them....

            I've found in the past that you can find some very nice wood from old wooden plates. When you finish your cut out the wood already has a nice finish. I am only adding a picture of 6 but I have done many of these....
