    Greetings from Florida

    Currently living in the South Tampa area, been here for about 3-1/2 years and I am retired from the computer industry.

    I started wood working about about 35 years ago. Started while living in Penna, moved to New York State then to North Carolina where I started doing scroll sawing. Most of the things are do are intarsia which I really enjoy.

    Looking forward to meeting some of you.

    Welcome to the group Dick,

    I hope your enjoy your stay with us, and hopefully you have pictures of your work to show us.

    I'm sure your experience will be valued by many: Knowledge transfer is the name of the game in here (but without the pressure).

    What kind of saw do you own, and how long have you been scrolling?

    Regards,
    Marcel

          Welcome Dick. Whereabouts in PA did you live? I'm from the SW corner, just north of Pittsburgh.

                    I started out making small furniture pieces, like end tables etc, gradually moved into scroll sawing, like it more than making furniture.

                      Quartz I only bought the air filter, That same model is sold by many distributors, I see Grizzly has it and several others. I was going to build one but this thing works great. I will get a charcoal filter for it also. Great when doing Pyrography. They also had a Pfingst brand flex shaft tool I haven't...

                      Carole, only you would cut sprinkles on a scrollsaw. I would probably use rice and stain it. I just gave up replacing my insert. Its worn, but works for what I need. I do sand it to make sure there are no burrs sticking up to scratch the wood. I will be trying the new contact paper when mine runs...

                      Thick hair would need a larger opening, thinner hair would require a smaller opening to stay in place. The one being shown in the utube would probably work for thicker hair. They look way better than a pencil or dowel! That elephant sure is cute in her hair!.
