|  New member Hi everyone, After many years of wanting to take this up I've finally taken the plunge. I bought a cheap saw (Ryobi) last year to make quick work of my son's pinewood derby car. Car came out nice but when trying to really create something a little more intricate I was ready to throw the thing out the window. For my first official project I took on one of the window ornaments in the holiday edition. I know I should have started with something easier but I'm a glutten for punishment and they didn't turn out that bad when viewed from a distance. I'm sure a lot of it was being a newbie but after reading alot of the great info on this board and others I knew if I was going to stick with it that saw was not for me. Another member suggested to someone on here that you can get some great deals on ebay and craigslist; well he was right on that. I just picked up a type 1 Dewalt 788, stand and light used once or twice for next to nothing. I'm looking forward to really learning more from everyone and sharing what I learn.  jowshu98 |

| Welcome. Good luck with "old yella". Seems to be a fine machine. Sawing ability will improve over time. You found a great site. Happy Scrolling Holidays.  Dean |

| Welcome to a great place. The more you cut, the better you will get, indeed. I think everyone here notices what could have been done better when looking at old projects. Keep the saw running, and you will soon be helping someone else get started. Tor

| Welcome to the group. If you don't throw anything away how do you start fires in your fireplace in the winter? Good luck and have fun. Tom

| Thanks everyone! I wouldn't dream of throwing anything away. I spent to much time on them!! Besides, they'll look good on the tree buried in the branches! Thanks again! |

| Welcome, I, too, started with a Ryobi because it was cheap and I didn't know any better. After a couple years of cussin' I gave it to my son-in-law and bought a Dewalt. I hadn't known what scroll sawing was really about until then. It doesn't pay to buy cheap tools. Earl |
