jbrowning Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hello everyone, I bought my first scroll saw a few months ago and am having a blast learning this woodworking hobby. I have been photographing motorcycle races for the past 5 years and am thinking about incorporating the two together for the racers to give them something different. I am from Colorado Springs Colorado. Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hey Jim, Glad you joined us. Having a 'blast' huh. Watch out, it's addicting. What saw do you have and what have you cut with it? Great idea to do some motorcycle race cuttings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrowning Posted December 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the warm welcome. These are the only things I have made so far. I'm hoping to start working on motorcycle and barrel racing projects after the first of the year. I bought a 16" harbor freight scroll saw. Then bought the 3rd party adapter to where it will be easier to change plain blades. I have purchase some spiral blades that I am really wanting to try. This is one of my race pictures I want to cut my teeth on (so to speak).

wombatie Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Hi Jim welcome to the Village. I'm Marg from Australia. You certainly seem to have control of the blade, great start. Love the pattern you have made of the motorcycle. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
