Welcome to the best on line scrollsaw forum. As you may have gathered from reading some of the questions and posts, we are a friendly bunch of sawdust makers. Don't be embarrased to ask questions. You will get good advice from all who answer you.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.
I have only been scrolling for about 5 months. So I will probably be asking some dumb questions.
I have done a few projects which I will post after I figure out how to do it.
David, there is no such thing as a dumb question. We have all been where you were and did not even know the questions. Ask away, I am sure with the folks on here you will be surprised how helpful they can be. Toby
Welcome, David! As you can probably imagine, none of us were born with our scrollsaws, so we all had to get started somehow. Lucky you to have a big family to guide and encourage you. Let the questions begin!! And welcome to a big silly, wonderful family. Sandy PS What kind of saw do you have, and what kinds of things do you think you'd like to be scrolling?
We've all been newbies, and sometimes it refreshes our memory to share it along, so no worries: it's good for us.
Regards,
Marcel

thanks again guys for the warm welcome. I posted one of my projects in the gallery.

David,
The clock looks great, you can't be all that new to scrolling.
What kind of saw do you have?

Welcome David, nice job on the clock! Where is the pattern from?

In preparation for a scrolling demonstration I decided to make up a piece that would show the different ways I've cut puzzles. It's 2 layers of 1/8" BB. The puzzles were cut out as tray puzzles and then glued back in so pieces wouldn't get lost as it was handled.

Update at 13 April – Its been almost a month since my last post and my shop extension is progressing albeit slowly largely due to me nibbling at it on a regular basis rather than sticking with it and going full blast to get it finished.
The outside of the extension is almost finished apart...
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...
