Newbie saying " hello "

[toesy]

Just registered on the site, and wanted to say hello to everyone.

A little about me, not that it paints a pretty picture mind I'm very new to scroll sawing and so far have limited myself to making name plaques, and a couple of other items.

I'm really enjoying what I do, and I just find something so rewarding about making things from wood.

Some of the projects in these forums are lovely, love the fruit basket and headphone stand, and that OWL, Wow you have some patience and skill there.

hope to be a valuable member of the forums...

Thanks Brendan will do

I thought I would post some pictures of what I have done so far

As you can see I'm very much learning and most so far are from plans, the name plaques I create in Word
Phew messed up that didn't I .... LOL have re-added the pics now... oops

Hi Toesy
I use word as well for names and for other stuff I use Draw plus from Serif( many thanks to Martinka for putting me onto that.)

Apologies, I thought I had uploaded the pictures, only to find out I then deleted them, think I have done it right now, apologies if anyone thought I'd gone mad,.

Hello and welcome, the stuff you've posted looks good. You have obviously mastered the use of your saw. Looks like good accurate cutting and attention to detail in sanding and finishing. Hope you enjoy the forum.

 

[toesy]

Thank you woodndrum

Well that car wobbles when it rolls... But I do thank you, compared to some of the projects in here, I have a lot to learn and will enjoy doing so.

Welcome aboard Kev to probably the best group that you could wish to meet.I did not have this contact with fellow users of the scrollsaw that you have when I first started many years ago,and you will be able to tap into the vast wealth of knowledge from the lads and lassies who reside here.

I do like that car I must give something like that ago.

Hi Toesy, welcome to the forum.

Looking at the images of your work, I would say that you have already mastered your scroll saw. =D>

Plus you know how to post images, that’s something I cannot master, despite much help and advice from members of this forum. #-o

Take care.

Chris R.

Nice name plaques but I love the little car. Where did you get the pattern?
