Greetings everyone from NW Ohio. I've been lurking for some time and finally decided to post (plus I finally got some pictures online).
Here is a little bit about me. I'm not totally new to scroll sawing. Woodworking is a pretty big hobby of my grandfather and I've been using most of the common shop tools for about 18 years or so (I'll be 25 in two weeks). I don't know how many weekends my grandpa and I have spent in his shop together over the years. Sometimes it was working on nothing special, just him teaching me how to use the tools, start a fire in his small wood stove, and things like that. Other times it was a project of specail meaning, like a little log cabin I wanted to make for my mom, or some garden decoration for grandma.
Well, when I was about 10 my grandpa got me my first power tool, my first scroll saw, it was a Dremel Motoshop that took 3" pinned blades. It had a sanding disc attachment and a flexshaft attachment too. It was one of the best Christmas presents I ever got. I don't know how many hours I spent with that saw.
I stopped working with wood for several years when my family and I moved to Florida, but once we moved back closer to my grandparents I started again. At least for a little while.
My current rebirth into woodworking started about 3 years ago after I got married. About a year after we got married my wife and I were in Sears for some reason and I was looking at the powertools and I started talking to my wife about how I would love to get my old saw from my parents. She said sure. I had great plans about making some puzzles for my brothers and sisters-in-law for Christmas. But it was not meant to be. The blades for my Dremel were just too hard to find, and too big to do any type of tight curves. But my wife loves me so much that she let me spent some of my Christmas bonus money on a new saw. It is nothing too fancy, but I've been having fun with it in what little free time I have.
Well, I didn't start out to write such a long post about life. Thanks for reading it, and I'm sorry if I bored anyone.
I only have one photo to post right now, I'll try to get a few more soon.
This is a photo of a Nativity Puzzle I made for my Mom for Christmas last year. (Hope it works)

I absolutely love this forum and the people who make it so enjoyable. Like Bill, I have visited a couple of other forums and they just don't compare to the knowledge and companionship I have found here.
