I am new to this site but have been scrolling for almost two years now and loving every minute. I think the first thing to learn and practice is patience, patience and patience. Like any new endeavor it takes time to learn, and that is one of the best parts of the process. Even after completing initial and basic projects the feelings of accomplishment and reward are fantastic and grow and continue with each successive project and difficulty level. Like a lot of others, i was drawn to scrolling and went out and found an old craftsman at a garage sale for $40.00. After a lot of practice and experimentation I knew that this was something i would enjoy. So I invested in a DW788 and made a comfortable work space in my shop and haven't looked back. I think that is very important too, if your going to be spending a lot time at it, make yourself comfortable. Get a good comfortable and supportive chair, get the lighting that you need, get the ventilation that you need & you HAVE to have your music. One of the other big factors that I have learned is to not be afraid to experiment, the potential for this tool is only limited by your imagination and sense of adventure. With sites like this and other avenues, there is a large resource out there. And no matter what your level is or the level that you want to get to, get yourself some good equipment, make yourself comfortable, be safe and amaze yourself at what you can learn and are capable of.

Awesome job, the detail is incredible ~ well done.

Wanted to show some "keepsake boxes" i experimented with. Came up with a system of matching inserts for the inside and out of the lid. Either one creates some great opportunities for customizing and personalizing for customers, gifts or special occasions. The other shot shows how they can be used for drawer fronts. I've also used other design for cabinet door inserts, kind of makes a personalized raised panel effect.
