AK Moose Nugget

Quickly scribbles notes about Pegasus blades. I'll get some ordered as well. I had seen then in ads, but with limited $$, didn't want to take a chance. Been here less than a week and you folks answering questions I didn't even ASK!!!! Amazing and just a little bit spooky. OOOOooooOOooo (Hears Twilight theme playing)

Thanks for the generous welcome and howdy-do's. Now to answer a cpl specific questions. Janie, I found the Creature of the Night pattern here at SSV. Tuner, 'bout the mail you don't receive, call 1-888-I'm-Retired. See if that helps. LOL. To all the rest of you...thanks again and I look forward to getting to know folks by name/user picture.

Hello, Another new scroller here. I am a retired USPS Letter Carrier living in Anchorage, Alaska. Been here 30+ years, so figure I'll maybe stay...see if I like it. I bought a Porter Cable 18" scroll saw a month or so ago and have finally got around to setting it up and using it. I spent the month looking at patterns, tips and tricks online. Also found this wonderful site and downloaded a few of the patterns. I just finished the "Creature of the Night" (Ace of Spades design) sign last night. I had scrolled a couple practice sheets and tackled this sign as a starter piece. I think it is a very good choice for a first project. It poses some challenging cuts, but is very forgiving given the overall design. I cut it out of .25 plywood using a #5 Reverse blade for the outer edge and most of the inside cuts. Also used a #3 spiral blade for the narrow inner cuts. Overall, I enjoyed it and now have to decide on my next project. I know, I covered a lot of topics here, but just excited to be part of a great, knowledgable group of people. Thank you ahead of time for the advice and help I will most likely ask for in the future.
