Hello from NJ!

[psychoCutter]

Hi everyone! Brand new to scrolling. Ended up falling into it kind of on accident. I've enjoyed wood working for a few years but put it on the side due to work and family obligations. We ended up wanting to make a few hand made wooden puzzles for our son so I threw some wood through my band saw and it just wasn't going my way.

I saw the scroll saw, purchased and made my first little puzzle for my boy. I was impressed by how tight I could make cuts. I started poking around online at some things that can be done with a scroll saw and I have to say I am completely shocked at the designs and intricate projects done by the scroll saw.

So just seeing the capabilities I am hooked. I look forward to learning from everyone and perhaps one day I can share some knowledge !

avapilot,

It is addicting, and I'm down in Ocean County outside of LBI.

sawdustus, I'm still learning how to make tight turns and get the overall feel for using the saw so I don't have anything picture worth yet ! Rest assured I will !

I don't have any elaborate saw, just grabbed a Ryobi 16" from Home Depot. Thanks for the replies!
