A very long story. LOL.
I have been at this for about 8 to 9 years I think. Not really sure. I started out with a Dremel and now use a Shopsmith. I have given one seminar last year in OH, and have my own group on Facebook called the Elite Scrollers. (which by the way is more than scrolling these days) We welcome woodworkers of all kinds and we try to have monthly contests.
I came from the Free4All forum which is currently in the process of shutting down. It is the only forum I found to be friendly and helpful in many ways and have met lots of very nice people.
I do mostly ornaments, but have done a few larger pieces and custom orders and have taken a step into designing portrait style patterns for other scrollers.
