Hey there ! - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

jimmy joe · 06-27-2010, 12:10 PM

I have replied to a whopping 4 post and decided I better at least say hi and who I am . I have sat on the scroll saw fence for a few years now . I do wood working and have for well........a long time . I just didn't know what I would make as some of these things just aren't my cup of tea . I love looking at them but don't have the patience for some . Right now I am just playing with a new saw . I have lurked enough to to know Dewalt and up are better saws . Being as I am not sure how much I am going to do with it I grabbed the Hitachi on close out at the Lowes . It actually isn't a bad saw for me right now . I look at it like this , if I get into it I can upgrade and at 139 I can keep it as a back up or sell it to another beginner . I have to admit some of the higher end saws look pretty sweet . I set it up on one of my benches just to try it and see if I wanted to keep it (didn't put the stand together as I thought if I return it I would have less work) . Well I am keeping it and I still haven't put the stand together . I just might leave it as it sits higher on this bench and I like standing right now . My wife had a long day yesterday so I threw in some pot pies and hashbrowns for quicky food . Right after doing so I had to run down and make one of those oven pulls that some of you guys and gals make . Nothing fancy like on here but it did the job quite well . For projects I might like to tackle ...... some simple inlay maybe and possibly start toying around with some intarsia . Who knows ! I was happy just making a simple oven pull . I have found that I am using the saw more than I thought I would . I do a lot of small projects and sometimes I use it just for a quick cut off . A long "hey there" but now you know .......I know very little about scrolling . Actually as a parting thought . You guys and gals are pretty darn skilled with some of the things I see on here . I will try to do less lurking and more posting .......shorter post ! See ya Jimmy joe .

Hello;
Welcome to the wide world of scroll saw.
Be careful it can become addicting.
Any way have fun and you will find the area you like the most.

Hi jimmyjoe, and Welcome!! I think you can make your posts as long as you like. Mine are usually quite short as I am a two fingered typist HaHa. You will probably find out, if you haven't already, what you can do on a scroll saw is almost limitless. By reading the posts on this forum you will find some of the members are very creative and also very talented. I hope you stick around and show us some of your projects.

Welcome Jimmiejoe & Bill. You will find a lot to read here, that's for sure. And learning as you read. I think if you just wander a bit, you will find something that you will like to do. I have my favorite's & dislikes too. You just have to jump in when you feel like it. Good Luck to you both. --- Perk

Jimmy Joe -- Welcome to the forum. I was new here a couple of months back, but have found the folks here to be wonderful. As a result, I've explored different aspects of scrollsawing and an having a ball. Jump in and ask questions and please post pics when you cut up.
