Newby to Board - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

IBsawin · 09-28-2009, 09:43 PM

Hello everyone. I am a newby to the board but not to scrollsawing. I am very interested in doing portrait pattern sawing and would appreciate any advice anyone has for me. I recently downloaded Coyote Stencil demo, Gimp, Serif PhotoplusSE, and I use Adobe Photoshop Elements for my other digital picture editing. I purchased Gary Browning's first book and I have been to Steve Good's site. Tha's a brief description of where I am so help me if you can. I also sent a private message to Ozarkhillbilly.
Thanks in advance.
John

Welome, John.

There are some tutorials on the board in the Pattern section. You can find them here: Scroll Saw Design Tutorials - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

That should give you a good start.
