  1. Dad says he likes scrolling better also. Maybe with more time on the saw all that will change for me I just posted my second piece .
  2. Thanks for liking me. Looking forward to getting to know you.
  3. Thanks. I am looking forward to meeting you as well. Dad says we need to make a run to the wood store soon, so maybe we will meet them . I just posted my 2nd piece.
  4. My first piece was a dauphin, only 6 pieces so not much of a challenge. This on took me a lot longer. But for a second piece I think it turned out ok. The best trick I learned was to color tha back board black so you can not notice the spaces. I am giving this to my daughter for her birthday - I might enter it in the fair too.
  5. Good luck on your new saw. I am lucky, as I am able to do my work in my father's shop. (heppnerguy). I will be posting things as I get them finished. I hope you enjoy this web sight as much as you have enjoyed your new scrolling hobby. I too have found that i like the scroll saw too country girl Theresa
  6. Hi. I have recently moved to a small town in Oregon to be near my parents. My dad is Heppnerguy. Many of you may already know him. He mostly does scrolling but started out doing intarsia; he does wonderful work. He thought because i have been a cabinet builder since the age of 14 that I would like this as well. I really do like it, and I am on my third piece. I do not scroll, but i do like the intarsia. The cutting part makes me nervous - I am to much of a perfectionist, and I have a hard time staying on the line. Which means that I get to do extra sanding. This is actually the part I like, but I am finding that I am spending too much time on that. Maybe some of you can relate - if you adjust one peice, every piece to follow will need adjustments and well. My dad has been sharing his shop and lent me his old saw as well. It is great to spend time with him, and to be able to receive instruction from such an artist. I look forward to sharing my work, seeing yours, and getting to know you better. Theresa Country Girl
