Single Scroller Dad

Recommended Posts

Hi SSV!

My name is Redgam and I live in Alabama with my 16 month old daugher and our 4 year old golden retriever. I started scrolling about 2 years ago, really, I just stumbled upon it as I looked to fix our bed. I went over to my neighbors, Christine and Pete, to lend their scroll saw. It was a SS16V if I remember correctly. 

 

So, what am I doing here? Well, I guess I just want to find people that have the same interest as me as it is fairly uncommon to find someone with a similar passion.

 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

 

Redgam E.

What a team! You your daughter and a perfect companion for her.

What is your daughters name? She's family here too!

Welcome to SSV and glad you joined us.

What have you cut on the SS16V?

You are so correct on scroilling being a passion.

As is well known here, it's an addiction without a cure.

Though I usually would not say this,  but in your case I have to:  I already know you are a great guy and Dad.

PS:

There's an Alabama pattern. boB can show you where it is
(Bob, I just found out Alabama is nicknamed the Yellowhammer State, after the state bird)

Great to hear that there are different styles over here. I like to experiment with new stuff, so I am up to try A LOT of the different styles shared here. I've not experimented as much as I wish yet but I am working towards it. 

Thank you.

Wow, what a reply!

My daughers name is Lucy!

Actually, I only used the SS16V for that specific time, I haven't since. I bought myself a Dewalt DW788, and that is what I am currently using.

I would totally recommend it for both beginners but also novice scrollers in this community. I will take some pictures later this week on my finished projects, I am currently out of town.

I don't really understand "You're not the prettiest mask in the Village" but thank you for that Alabama pattern you showed me, might come in useful later on!

 

Thank you all for the warm welcome, I promise to contribute to the community later as well. :)

OK! REDGAM ,The parties getting rough already .Nobody told me what ZEN ment !Novice ,Well that's better than some things I have been called ! Stupid ME !,All this time I thought my (Tricked out Dewalt 788 style 1) was still top of the line ! since I removed the peddles LOL! and added the motor. Off an ringer washer I think ,I'm so old I can't remember too good anymore !LOL

Seriously ,I have not found anything I can not do with the 788 ,love the large tilt table ,you can see different tweeks ,I have done to it to make it DUST FREE in my gallery, there is even a poor quality video on U-TUBE cutting sheet rock .with the vac system ,The next day I swapped the vac to a 2 Hp Reversed blower ,works similar to my delta central system in the shop.

Iv'e tested it for some time now and is much quieter and still handle the saw and my shaping cabinet in my computer room in the house w/ the vac and blower out side on the porch ! Having a wife and COPD It had to be DUST FREE! I have not found

the saw lacking in any area ,But I do not cut 2x4s every day or do commercial toy runs,or cut really thick hard wood everyday .

 

Although I have really used for many things It was not intended for numerous times ,I just take my time !

 

I am just pulling your leg about the novice thing .Enjoyed your post,So I think I will go and attempt to cut some thing if I can find the start button ! LOL !Later Buddy !P.S. Tell Lucy HI for me !

Redgam, you have an Alabama pattern to cut (if you want) Bobscroll just created a second (maybe third)

Alabama pattern. Bob's good at that.

Say hello to Lucy for us and pet your puppy too.

Thanks everyone. I cannot wait to share my projects with you all, I want constructive criticism as all my real life friends don't know anything about this type of stuff. :) 

 

Best,

Redgam

Hi Redgam, welcome to the Village.  I'm Marg also from Australia and I have a DeWalt and an EX21 but then again I have been scrolling for about 16 years.  So pull up a chair and make yourself at home and ask as many questions at you want we don't care.

Hello Redgam, a big FAILTE,(Scottish) welcome from Me. I'm Roy from, well, I think you can guess!!!. Thank you for your interesting intro. Come on in to the mad house and enjoy yourself. You're now part of the international family, including Lucy, oh and the dog. You will want for nothing in the village,(except perhaps money) :lol:  :lol: , no matter what it may be. You'll even have breakfast if you wish, but one other thing is, you'll have many,many friends from around the globe. If you need a pattern, we have many superb pattern makers right here in the village who produce patterns on just about any subject, so where else would you want to be??. Jump in and have a coffee and most of all ENJOY yourself.

Rob Roy.
