New and Lost - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

woodjoy · 10-06-2008, 08:31 PM

Hello

I'm new at this and am not quit sure how to go about getting started, I'm a sixty year old with a loving wife, that loves the fact that I can disappear in to the garage for hours in the winter with a scrollsaw and a pile of scrapwood and come out with something that looks pretty good.

During the winter I scrollsaw and in the summer I love to garden. I Have even
learned to combine the two and come up with some nice garden signs.

well thats all for a start, hope I did this right.

Ron

Hi Ron, and welcome. I think it's very easy for us all to get lost in our carving and scrolling and lose track of time. I know I certainly do and isn't it great! LOL
How about showing us some of your garden signs. Posting Photos - Woodcarving Illustrated Message Board

Hi Ron - I've also been an avid gardener in my past and also know what its like to form an attachment to that shed or garage you mention. helps keep you sane and release the stresses of everyday life.

Hope you enjoy the forum and I look forward to seeing your work

Have fun!

Hi Ron,

Welcome to the site. I too garden and scroll, but new to scrolling. Here in TN the garden is still growing, but neglected because of the new hobby.
