Hi
I introduced myself the other day, and have been busy reading up on site some. Thought I would make a first proper post and start the journey to scrollership
Past week I have been finishing tidying up my old back of garage workshop that has been used over the years for general household tasks, and Motorcycle repairs, etc, so it was leaky, drafty, and not very well organised for its new usage. Anyhow its clean, less drafty and I have practically lived in it since mid week getting it fit for purpose at last, hehe.
Anyhow, after doing some very wayward scroll attempts briefly when setting up the machine and gettig to know its little quirks and its funky tension settup I decided to cut something as a first time scroller that would pose a challenge to me.
I have a few old test pieces laying around from when I used to do the Pyrography and chose a small portion as a test cut. It was on 6mm Birch faced ply and I cut out a small section about a couple inches long to try and get better control.
Will tag the pic.
I have waited before trying anything proper as yet till my new blades arrived.
I bought some Olsen's and am awaiting an order from Mike of the FD-UR and FD-SR blades, as the 5 blades I revieved with the machine I wore through pretty quick setting up the machine and getting used to the funky tension set up it uses.
In the meantime I have a project set up and the wood bought in and just awaiting Mikes blades, then I will start it and post picks when I am done.
Won't look much to the seasoned scroller no doubt but after all the hard work setting up my old shed I thought I would crow at my little success.
hehe, never know maybe a forest will grow from this little twig.

don’t meet other guidelines. We are still 75 and over or health care workers I believe. My husband is in health care, so he has now gotten both of his shots. At this rate, I figure I will be doing good if I get sometime this summer.
