Hi Everybody. I am not a scroller - at least not in the sense that most of you are. My wife is the scrollsawer in this family and I do occasionaly use her DeWalt DW788. I, on the other hand am a woodworker that uses a variety of tools including my 4' x 8' Shopbot CNC Router. I also use a bandsaw, tablesaw, Radial arm saw, jig saw, and a host of sanders and other things. Many of the projects my wife, Toodie is involved in require the use of some of these other tools and I am pleased to help her by doing some of the more intimidating procedures with my "heavier" equipment. I also have a small, home-based business which utilizes much of my machinery. I am retired and still an active 69-year-old. I came across this site, basically from a Google search and was impressed with the tutorials presented in the use of GIMP and Inkscape, among others. Being somewhat familiar with PaintshopPro and Corel as well as a few CAD and CAM programs, I was amazed at the wide variety of functions present in these two programs which I immediately downloaded. I am hoping I will be able to help the little lady with some of the pattern work for both the scrollsaw and her woodburning projects. In the process, I can also adapt some of the pattern-producing tips and tricks to work on the cnc router.
