Welcome aboard, Bob. All questions answered here. Most of us are a bunch of nuts but we can get serious if need be. Make some sawdust and be sure to post your work. We are here to help all we can.
This is the right place to learn in a friendly environment. Take some time to read the old threads; they are a mine of information.
What kind of saw do you own?
We hope to see some of your work soon, and don't forget to keep the first piece you make (no matter what it looks like) as a comparison point to see your progress. You'll be amazed at how much you progress.
Regards,
Marcel

The best tip I have with spirals is to cut straight lines backwards. instead of pushing the work piece into the blade, pull it toward you. Seems to allow for better control on straight lines (most other lines too)
