Another new guy...

Not new to the scroll saw, but new to learning to use it correctly. I'm working my way through Nelson's Workbook and enjoying it very much. Retired, on limited income, I'm working with a Ryobi 164VS. Before you start sympathizing and telling me I'll be upgrading soon... I'm posting a picture of my saw in it's current configuration. I fabricated the pieces parts and it seems to work very well. No problem with blade retention and the tension doesn't need to be reset very often. Looking forward to learning much more about scrollsawing.

Thank you all for the welcome. Here are a couple recent projects, aside from the Workbook exercises. The hat stretcher has a 5 degree angle on the outside edge, inside cuts are at 90 degrees. The door numbers and signage were an enjoyable weekend project.
