G'day Kenneth...

Here's a warm welcome from 'still-wet' neophyte.... And I'm wrestling with usage of my machine, too..... We'll get there, though.--- This forum has _so much_ depth and breadth of experience to draw on... on seemingly anything!!.

I note in your intro that you're interested in 'segmentation'..... I don't know exactly what this is in relation to scrollsawing.... But I must ask you---- Does it involve 'Fractal' generation and the scrolling ??
'Fractals' I'm particularly interested in and intend pursuing such with my scrolling...... Down the track , of course !... I reckon computer generated fractals, applied to Scroll-sawing will be quite a buzz. ( I've applied such 'generations' to 'paper' graphics.... They'd great in scrolled wood !!)

...catchya around..

... Ray.

PS.... now you can see how 'new' I am !!! There's a whole sub-forum here devoted to segmentation... I just 'found' it... Duh. .... Some stunning work done ...... So I now now that 'fractals' have no application in 'segmentation'

[TimberHugger]

Hey Ray, Such a Treat too Chat with Someone from the Land Down Under. Ray sorry for the Delay on the Reply,My Mom is having Problems again.Yeah Ray I hope Segmentation is not that Difficult because I am a Simple Man hehehehe.I am sure U have Figured it out by Now,But if U haven't find Yourself a Detail Picture of an Animal or a Portait of a Respectable Person U admire&bond the Print too a Blank of 1/2 thick Wood (Soft Maple is what I use) cut it out like a Puzzle,Stain it with 3 or 4 Basic Tones.Then glue the Picture back together at Different Levels.Stand Ur finiished piece on something get back a few Feet &look at it you will think U created a Famous Painting.It will Look Like Art I tell U Ray, You have too Try one! Ray see if U can Find Kerry Shirts Book on Amazon,Scroll Saw Art. Top of the Day too U Mate..... Kenneth
