|  newbee for south africa hi made the mistake of looking at the Bragging Section found it a little depressing i now realize how little i know . in my country we dont have the range of products you have and local woods are few and expensive especially hard woods i end up thicknessing all my wood to about 15 to 20 mm before i can use them . any beginners projects you could recommend so far i have made a key holder out of kiaat and a few kiddies projects (sorry newbee from south africa computer challenged) Last edited by andysouthafrica : 11-15-2008 at 08:44 PM.

| Welcome to the crew, if you use the search button above you should find a bunch of things you are looking for. Kevin is also starting a Pattern Vault so try there as well. Glad you are here, there are others from South Africa I think.

| Welcome andysouthafrica.......you made no mistake looking at the Bragging Section. Pictures here gives us food for thought I always say. Everyone started from square one, some have been scrolling longer than others, some are naturals no matter how long they've been scrolling. The only thing to remember is have fun. Would love to see some of your projects. Come by often.

Andy : welcome to the family here , just remember that the bragging page people was just like you when they started out also . you'll learn as you go , so just keep making sawdust and you'll reach new heights in scrolling . You'll see !!! Marshall
