Hello from North Carolina

[cskipper]

My name is Cathy Skipper and I have been scrolling for a couple of years. I am using a Delta saw but am ready to move up to a better saw. I also am learning to turn pens and bowls, which is a blast. I really want to get accurate enough in my cutting to get good at intarsia. I work full time at a small hospital in Greer SC as the manager of the Medical Information (better know as Medical Records) department. I have an hour commute each way, which doesn't leave me much time in the shop. I am married to a wonderful man who encouraged me to get into scrolling and turning. We have two boxers and grown kids as well as 6 grandchildred. Thanks for letting me join.

Hi Cathy, welcome to the family. I have been scrolling for about sixteen years now. I thought that I was the only one with this addiction but I found a new family here and they are all infected with the scrolling bug. Welcome aboard. Steve

You will find it is full of relatives Inlaws and outlaws.

BTW the difference between In-laws and outlaws?
Outlaws are wanted

Hey, Carl, I thought jokes were banned on here now - think of all those in-laws you might have offended



But to get back to the point - welcome Cathy. This is a great board with a lot of helpful people and lots of information. Not to mention some inspiring work in the galleries - if they ever reappear ...... Bob?

Hi From North Carolina

Hi, my name is Phillip and I have been Scrolling off and on for about twenty years now. I never did get real good at it. But, for the last two years I have really been scrolling hot and heavy. I believe that God has given me a great talent and I am to use it befor I lose it. I really do find alot of relaxation in my scrolling. Does anyone know if there will ever be a Scroll saw pinic somewhere in the Southeast?

[lucky788scroller]

Alabama will have one next spring. And PA has one in June. Thats the closest I know of. www.saw-online is a good place to learn about the different venues. And, if you cant find one nearby, they will help you create one!! They are always a good time, and worth the drive! I have been to many, and have never been disappointed! Dale

Thanks

Thanks lucky788 for the info. I have been wanting to go to one for a couple of years now and I haven't been able to. I got a little upset with myself today. I have been trying to make a cradle for my grandson that will be here in January and I just can't get it right. I will keep trying, I might have to check out another pattern. Phillip

Thanks

Thanks lucky788 for the pinic info. My wife and I are talking about trying to go to one. Hope that we can make it
