Hello everyone! I am just now introducing myself to this forum, but I have been sitting in the wings and observing all of the threads for about 6 months. I am sold on this being the best scroll saw forum to belong to. Through this forum I have learned about the relaxing and satisfying power of scrolling. I have also picked up on several tips. I live in Whitby, Ontario, Canada.
In the early fall of 2005 I decided I wanted to expand my woodworking skills by “scrolling”. I quickly learned this is a very generic term for satisfying ones need to be intricately creative. My first interest in “scrolling” was to do some intarsia. I like challenges! I surfed the web for weeks to collect all of the details relative to doing intarsia. I determined what tools I needed to get started. I studied the features of many scroll saws and decided on the Excalibur EX21. It is designed and manufactured about 16 Kms (10 miles) from my home. I designed my own workbench(s) for my scroll saw and related sanders etc etc. etc.
I am very pleased with the 3 “works of art” that I completed this winter. I will try to post pictures of these (I have not figured out how to do that yet) and also include them in my gallery later. I have two more challenging patterns ready to be cut. I enjoy working at cutting, shaping and appreciating the effects of various woods.
I will now try to become an active member of this forum by soliciting and providing advice when required.
