Hi Kevin,yes, retirement is fun with so much to do. if I showed you the perch where I do all my scrolling you's all laugh. it's a little corner of the garage with my scroll saw perched on a workmate stand, a drill press and bandsaw on another. Anything else like sanding, table sawing I have to do outside when it's not raining. But what the heck, it's good fun. The biggest piece puzzle that I have done is 211 piece on 4 mm MDF. It was just a little smaller than an A3 sheet of paper and it was of an oil painting that I did. My glasses aren't safety glasses. I need them to see where the scroll saw is.... . I am thinking of getting one of those large magnifying glasses with a light i them to be able to see the pattern lines. If I can find out how to load photos I'll post pictures of some of my work. Just don't expect anything too good....lol

G'day everybody, I'm Clive and I live in the South Island of New Zealand. I have been scrollsawing for about eighteen months on an entry level Ryobi 405 scroll saw. I hope on day to upgrade to an Excalibur 21 which should last me till I fall off my perch. I am retired so I get a lot of time to practice. Most of my scroll sawing has been in making jigsaw puzzles for children which i make for an organisation to which I belong. This organisation is Santa Claus workshop, a group of about 10 retired men who make about 1000 toys a year to give away to needy children at Christmas time. I am keen to learn as much as I can from all you other scrollers and to also try different areas of scrolling such as portraits, and fretwork pieces
