I've been scrolling for over 7 years but probably longer than that. I started out with a "cheap" saw and was hooked almost immediately. Started out doing simple things, like silhouette cut outs and gradually worked my way up to intracut patterns. Never took a lesson, but read a lot and watched YouTube videos to help me along. Joined a few sites and asked questions and got to meet a lot of great folks. I do other forms of woodworking but scrolling is one of my favorites.
