| I'd done a fair amount of knife-cut marquetry as a hobby. In fact, I'd hoped my saw might be suitable for marquetry, but it wasn't. Gill

| Aside from shop class in high school, nothing else till I decided the scroll saw would be a useful tool to making architectural models in college.... talk about a learning curve!

| Helped my Dad build a couple of boats years ago. Made lamps , ashtray stands from diamond willow , coffee tables from tree slabs,repairs around the house. We had a homemade scrollsaw that in those days only pinned blades were available but never really did anything with it. To bad I hadn`t kept some of the homemade power tools from my grampas and dads shop.

| I built furniture and such for about 20 years prior to scrolling. Had a scrollsaw in my shop for 3 years before I actually turned it on for the first time, hehehe. Kevin

 | You are not alone Charlie. I had NO prior wood experience prior to starting scrolling. Except for griping to my husband about all the sawdust he was tracking into the house and how noisy his tools were when his shop was still in the basement. That explains why I am still playing catch up in learning about wood and in learning how to use tools other than the scrollsaw. |

| Always been good with my hands, But I really only started my basement shop 2 years ago. Since then, I've done a few cabinets, corner table, router table, and other small stuff. Now, I'm a tool junkie. I read, learn and do some. Only problem is that I don't have enough room to work comfortably in (but I'm working on a solution to that ).Regards, Marcel
