New here, just sayin hi! - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

rbpuzzles · 07-09-2012, 03:29 PM

Hello everyone!
Although I'm new here, I've been scrolling since about 1995, mostly in the form of traditional wooden jigsaw puzzles. Been kind of out of the game for the last 6 or 7 years though, but recently started getting the scroll saw magazine which got my interest flowing once again.
My main saw is a 26" RBI Hawk, but I also have a small 16" Craftsman I keep tucked away in the house, for use during cold (or hot) weather since my shop is neither heated nor air conditioned.
Now, if I can only figure out what I want my first puzzle to be, so I can see if I still "have it" or if I need to practice a while.

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome!

Hey, rb, glad to have you in the mix. We can always use added knowlege & glad to share ours with everyone too. Sounds like you have a nice saw & hope you get the enjoyment out of it, that you want. I don't do too many puzzles, but, enjoy doing fret work & portraits. Glad to have you & take care.

ubgoofy - It looks like there is already a darn good knowledge base here, but I will be more than happy to volunteer anything I can. One of the things I am wanting to try, since subscribing to the magazine, is fretwork.
