Thanks all for the warm welcome. I've attached snapshot of my current work in progress, some Christmas decorations based on a design found all over the net. My small artistic addition is to use nicely figured Zebrawood. However, the offcut I obtained was essentially a 6"x4" which I then had to hand saw lengthways to create 1/2" "blanks" and then sand them flat. This particular example is finished with Boiled Linseed oil but on reflection, it's too dark so am currently making a new batch which will just be lacquered. All the best and happy cutting,

Good Afternoon to you all. Pete from Portsmouth in Hampshire (UK) here. I got interested in scroll sawing just over a year ago and purchased a well used Ferm brand (possibly a FFZ400) to start on. I've watched a few videos but getting stuck in is half the fun so I just muddle through. The biggest surprise to me was that the blades will tolerate you turning a tighter curce than you ever thought possible. What I do is Noddy stuff really, just little ornaments from drawing on the net, I'll try and put a picture up when I've finished the first of this years Christmas items. Oh, and I have been lucky enough to pick up a used Hegner in the last couple of weeks so a renewed burst of enthusiasm awaits. All the best, Pete
