There are not enough good things to say about Grizzly. Most of my shop is Grizzly tools. If you ever want a treat go to one of their stores--truly a toy store for big boys. Everything in their catalog is in the store. They advertise over 100,000sguare feet of floor space . I am fortunate to live only 2 hours from a store so I get to visit and buy a couple of times per year. You do not have to fear dealing with them.

Hi loghome,welcome to the group. I am also from southcentral Pa and would love to introduce you to groups in the area on scrolling and perhaps swap some ideas.

As I was searching through this site I saw alot of references to Flying Dutchman Blades. I know Mike has a link to this site but was wondering if no one uses anything else. I use Pegas blades almost always and have found them to be very reliable, especially the Mod Geometry type. There is nothing wrong with Mike's blades but I was just curious?

Thanks for the welcome. You have pretty much all the essential info on the club. The only addition is that the club has a space at the Annville Antique Depot in Annville, Pa. where they are able to display their work and offer it for sale. It just got started and is drawing some attention. We are working on projects for Christmas for display. The club also demonstrates in Reading, Pa at a place called Google Works where every Sunday various artists and craftsman demonstrate their talents to the public. Our group demos every second Sunday. Another big event for us is helping at the Childrens Miracle network Fair at Hershey, Pa where we donate projects for sale and demonstrate with about four saws the cutting of various animals and toys which we randomly give to kids passing through the fair. It is an exciting group and only works well because of the dedication and friendly ness of the members. I also provide demos at the Woodcraft store in Harrisburg during special promotions and sometimes on a Sat. to help promote the classes. It seems to work and generate interest which in turn creates more students. Ok, I don't want to blow the horn too much but you did ask for info on the group. tom

Hi, my name is tom snavely and I live in Lebanon, Pa. I have been scroll sawing for about 10 years and enjoy it . I also teach scroll sawing at the Woodcraft Store in Harrisburg, Pa. I belong to a scroll sawing group in Ephrata, Pa called Tri-county scrollers. I am looking forward to sharing ideas etc. through this venue.
