LRW in VIC Posted July 3, 2022 Report Posted July 3, 2022 Hi everyone… new joiner… live in southern Victoria near Warrnambool near the coast of the Great Southern Ocean. Been scrolling for a few months now and wish I had started years ago! Originally from the US and was used to working with all the northern woods… Douglas Fir, walnut, oak, maple, poplar and others… now here in Australia the majority of the woods are gums (eucalypts) and while lovely woods they are heavy and hard… so fun to work… I use a Taiwanese clone of a Hegner 18”. Made by TruPro Tec from Carbatec. Great little saw for the money.. solid cast iron, and runs like a top Look forward to participating on this forum. Cheers Randy Roberta Moreton 1 Quote
Ctutor Posted July 3, 2022 Report Posted July 3, 2022 hi welcome. Did it take long to learn to stand on your head and turn counter clockwise rather than clockwise? I'v e turned some of those woods as well as sawed them. Nice grain and looks good when fished. keep us up to date on your experiences. Quote

Norm Fengstad Posted July 10, 2022 Report Posted July 10, 2022 Welcome Randy from Australia I am Norm from Nipawin , Saskatchewan, Canada. People smater tham me have said where I live if one digs a hole through the center of the earth and on through to the far side we would end up in your back yard So if weget tired of scrolling we could start digging- maybe meet in the middle' for a scroll sawn project exchange heppnerguy 1 Quote
