Hello all,

I'm brand new to scrolling and figured jumping right in to the Scroll Saw Village would be a great way to learn. I am about a week or so out from the delivery of a new King 22" scroll saw. Any advice on setup and other "beginner things" would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the village there are a lot of good people here to help you when you receive your new saw. Where are you located, RJ

I live in Clifton Park, New York - between Albany (to the south) and Saratoga Springs (to the north),

I'm pretty impressed with my initial "lurking" around the site - seems like a very friendly and supportive community - I look forward to learning and becoming a member.

Welcome from Colorado.  You have come to the right place.  This site and scrolling can become very addictive.

As for setup advise, a foot pedal and magnifier light are two first two accessories I'd recommend. 

I would also recommend getting a practice pattern, here, and using it just long enough to familiarize yourself with the saw.
