Thirdyfivepickup Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 ...my father always called himself a "wood butcher" even though he could make anything out of wood. Some of what he could do rubbed off on me and here I am. I'm mainly using my saw for cutting out shapes on my artsy projects. I started with an old "buzz saw" and have just recently upgraded to a Menards scroll saw. I've only cut one project on the new saw but its awesome compared to what I was using. I'm hoping to learn how to better use my saw... how to select the best blades and HOW TO PROPERLY SET TENSION... as well as wood selection and of course technique I'm 47, married with 3 girls... work wholesale selling auto parts and like puppies and making saw dust. Oh, and cars. Love cars. Phantom Scroller, Scrolling Steve, meflick and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 Welcome to the Village. Looks like you wood butchered some fine looking work. And WOW, when I was a kid I got one of those Sears electro-magnetic scroll saws for Christmas. Loved it. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 A nice variety of well crafted items you posted. I now know where you wife and children will be able to find you, right there by your scroll saw. Be sure and continue to make them happy with your absence by making sure you continue to make new item for them to hang on their walls.
