Hello everyone, I have been reading the forum for a little over a year now and have enjoyed all the great advice that all everyone has for each other.
My handle is big foot b/c that's my nick name at work. Probably has to do with my size 13's. LOL
I am NOT skilled at this whole typing / computer thing so it will take me awhile to ask or answer anyone with my 2 finger skills.
I discovered scrollsawing by accident a year ago when I saw the Scroll Saw Workshop magazine at the book store & picked it up to have a look.
I have worked with & enjoyed working with wood for quite a few years now but wanted to start doing smaller projects due to lack of space.
I started on a Sears 16 inch saw - which I had to convert to pinless - & once I realized how much I enjoyed it, bought a 20 inch Dewalt DW788. Unfortunately, it's in the repair shop b/c I have had some trouble with it.
I think it might be the tension b/c the blade looses tension when I am sawing.
Anyone had a similar problem or any suggestions?
I am still a novice but have been pleased with most of the work I've done so far. I get my blades from Mikes Workshop and that is again thanks to the great advice on this forum.
I am looking forward to chating with & learning from you all.
