Red face One more newbie

Hello all,

Just thought I would say hi and introduce myself. Although I have been playing with a scroll saw for about a year now, it has been in fits and bursts. When it comes to a scroll saw, I think of myself as a Jack of all Trades (and yes, master of none so far). I have completed 2 intarsia projects, one segmentation, one portrait and a few dozen Christmas ornaments. The better I am getting at it (and the faster I can finish projects) the more enjoyable it is becoming. I am using a small Delta (16") and can't wait to upgrade, but that will have to come in time. I figure if I can get skilled on a small saw, then when I get to a large one, I'll be really good.

Can't wait to pick up lots of tricks and skills from others who really know what they are doing.

Cheers,
Lois

Welcome Lois
just take a look around your bound to learn some tricks and skills here and if you can't find it , just post a message and surely someone will try and help you out .
Now for bigger saw is not always a good thing . It does let you use a bigger piece of wood .

Welcome Lois. What a name to come home from Chorale rehearsal, to find as a new member (the Chorale is directed by another Lois). This is a great site, and the people are wonderful.

On the saw, there is a definite advantage to a good saw. The throat only affects the size of the piece you can run through the machine. That being said, I went for the largest throat I could get the saw I wanted in (25"), and for me and my work, I would be most disappointed to go to anything less. Depending on the work you do, a 16" saw may be more than enough throat for you (but good saws seem to commonly be about 20").
