How many scrollers are fellow LJ's?

I love to scroll. Too bad work gets in the way of my fun, lol. I have been scrolling for about 8 years now. I have a dewalt scroll saw but am looking into getting an excaliber. My daughter wants my dewalt. I live in Erie, CO just north of Denver.

i own a pretty good scroll saw – but that does not make me a scroller. I admire people who can scroll well, but I just don’t have the patience.

-- Rich, Cedar Rapids, IA - I'm a woodworker. I don't create beauty, I reveal it.

I am primarily a scroller, and have found that lots of people here do many different types of woodworking, including some scrolling. I started a daily blog here and I have had a lot of positive response from it from woodworkers of all different types. I have only been here a couple of weeks, but I have already learned a great deal and made some new friends. It seems I have had to work some extra time into my day just to talk with everyone and read and learn. I think you should give it a try – what do you have to lose?

Hope to see you again,

I’ve been Scroll Sawing since “92 and the SS continues to be the work horse of the shop for me and my small projects…

-- Mike in Concord, NH---Unpleasant tasks are simply worthy challenges to improve skills.

My scroll saw may set un-used for months at a time. Then one day I look up at the ole girl in the corner and fire it up. Nothing serious, just goofing around.
It is fun though. I don’t have a lot of patience for the fancy stuff. Or talent either as far as that goes.

I only occasionally hop on a scroll saw , however my wife scrolls full time.

I am a scroller, I got my first scroll saw 2 years ago and have loved every moment. I live in Minnesota.
You have made some awesome things, congrats on your recent award.

Great job on getting 2nd. place in scroll work.

-- John at Sugarloft Mountain........Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

I use to be obsessive with scroll saw work about 10 years ago. I did mostly elaborate Victorian fretwork boxes and baskets and spent untold hours at it. I haven’t used my scroll saw in about 9 years now. I just got burned out on it and lost interest. I would start every day about 6 PM with the intention to work for a couple of hours and next thing I knew, it would be 3 AM. It was almost like being hooked on drugs.

I have had a scrolllsaw of one description or another for about 15 years but had a few years here and there when it got no work at all for one reason or another.
Now I have a decent one and love using it, however having been a member of LJ’s for a while now, it has whet the appetite for woodworking in general, so the scrollsaw isn’t my only passion anymore! Love the fine detailed work that can be done on it tho and it can be very therapeutic

ScrollinUSA, you have a very nice website! Keep up the good work!

closetguy, Get hooked again! Get the kids involved!

Theresa, You are right! It can be therapeutic. For me it TEACHES patients.

I have been scrolling for 20 years, bought a Hegner 18V back then and primarily used it for cutting small pieces for my whirligigs. I do all kinds of scrolling including Fretwork. It can be tedious at times but I love doing it.
I reside in Citrus Heights, Ca. in Sacramento County
