Thanks to those who have been screaming for this to happen, we now have a Scroll Sawing Forum for what I consider the special folks in woodworking, who are able to turn a piece of wood, into something miraculous with their patient execution of an incredibly thin blade, and movement of arms and hands to twist and turn a piece of wood into a dimension that quite frankly blows my mind. 

I look forward to seeing the great projects that scrollers produce, and I look forward to reading about the techniques, machinery, and materials used in the wonderful art of scrolling.

The scroll saw section is a great idea.

My scroll saw sits idle much of the time. My lack of skill is only surpassed by my abundance of impatience. I'd love to see some work by forum members AND, maybe a few tips, too. 

 

Looks like I joined at just the right time. I just found the site yesterday! Thanks for the welcoming emails. I will post some of my work when I have more time. Right now you can check out my web site, www.thescrollerandtoler.com to see some of it. I have alot of new stuff to get posted so check back often.

                        Again, thanks for the warm welcome,

                         Rick

I have seen you site. Great job. Like you I love to use my scroll saws. Not for just fret work, but embellish furniture pieces, to do inlay work and marquetry. The uses for a scroll saw are just about endless. Have you ever tried compound cuts on a scroll saw? Amazing what comes out of it all.

I haven't tried the compound cuttings yet. It is on my list of new things to try. When I do I'll post pictures. And thanks for your kind words. I couldn't do it without the help of great designers that I use, like Sheila Landry and her partner Keith, Sue Mey and others on the various blogs and groups for scrolling.

Sue May is great. I have used her patterns and they are good and inexpensive. I have a series of crosses from her I have to do for my Church. I will post pics when I get them. As for compound cutting it is not that hard. I did a chess set for a customer, one of the few I do didn't pics of. I have some ornaments to do and will post them when I get to them.

We have more then 2 people on here that use their scroll saws. I would love to hear you and see your work.  See your styles and what you enjoy the most about sitting there in front of the blade and table. Any special tips or suggestions. For those that are not familiar with this style of wood working please ask your questions and or post your comments. How many people realize that this simple tool once learned can add so much to your projects ? Personalization and an indefinite style or embellishments ? Personally I know that a lot of people don't have the equipment or the patience but I do know there are many more out there that enjoy this style of wood working. So why not spread the word, show your projects and experience and as always. Newcomers are very welcome.

Yes she does. It is Sheila Landry Designs. com She is also on FB. Between her patterns and Keith's patterns, I am always broke. A lot of my stuff on my site is from Sheila.

I too like Sheila Landry patterns. I also like Sue May's Patterns alot. I have done a few of her cross patterns for customers of mine. Wooden Teddy Bear has alot of good patterns as well.Don't have anything spiecal for a saw. Just a Sears Craftmens industry variable speed.Oldy but goody.I also get alot of my patterns free throught Steve Good web site.And if you sign up he sends you a new free pattern almost daily. There are alot of free patterns if you have the time to search the web for them. I have a few web site addresses if any one is interested in them let me know. Also check out free ebooks.
