hippygirl Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Hello all! I joined several years ago, but I got discouraged and stepped away from my SS. I've recently decided to give it another go and, for SOME reason, I seem to be able to actually follow the lines now...go figure! Anyway, just wanted to say hello and look forward to being part of the forum again! ChelCass, barb.j.enders, Jronn65 and 6 others 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 Welcome back Sherry! Part of the fun of scrolling is not following the lines...unless your are doing intarsia. Returns are always welcome here. hippygirl and OCtoolguy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preprius Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Do we give refunds for returnee's. I probably joined during your away time. There has been some really nice stuff made. Painting is a big step of progress. In general adding color have various methods. Remind us what saw(s) you use, blades, etc... These guys and gals here helped me get through my struggles, frustrations. Let the community help. OCtoolguy and ChelCass 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 Welcome aboard once more. I hope to see you continue in your venture on your saw. There have been a lot or patterns added here lately so go check out what might be your new challenge. This is such a great place to hang out when you have the time. It feels like family here.

These guys and gals here helped me get through my struggles, frustrations. Let the community help. Oh, my saw is just a Skil. I just got the WEN pinless blade holders and they're MUCH better than others I've tried (I no longer have to crank the bolt down almost to the point of stripping the threads OR my allen wrench!). I have FD UR blades (sizes 3, 5, 7, and 9) and some Olson's I bought back when I first got my saw. If this goes well, I plan to upgrade my saw at some point...we'll see.

MarieC Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Welcome! I just joined so I am stumbling through scrolling and just made my first project (not too successfully) so I do get being discouraged. Anyway, I am asking questions from all these knowledgeable folks as I journey through this in hopes to be a better scroller. Welcome back!

OCtoolguy Posted March 5, 2023 Report Share Posted March 5, 2023 Welcome back from The People's Republic of California. I look forward to seeing what you like to make. Pics are a must though or we won't believe you. Do you have anything you specialize in or are you still in the deciding phase. Me, I'm not into wall hangers. I like boxes, bowls and baskets. Things that have a purpose other than collecting dust. But to each his own. Please do keep us updated on your journey. ChelCass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted March 20, 2023 Report Share Posted March 20, 2023 I would like to suggest you get some #3 blades as you will find that they are easier to cut patterns with and you will have less 'fuzzies' to sand when you are through. Have fun and don't just to quickly into patterns that look impossible for you to cut as doing the simple ones until you don't even have to guess where you are on the lines you are cutting and then move to something a little more challenging. That way you will not be so discouraged. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to find people who what to be "gifted" with the stuff I make. Gene Howe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
