Default Re: Introduction

Say Gail, now that you have the tool - and you don't know anything - what do you think of "just cutting" with it! Is it hard, easy, something in between? Is it intuitive or confusing? Now, this is about the tool, not your ability to make good looking scrolls.

Also, I took a course from Montgromery School - it was correspondence, with some mailings (so he could see the actual work). While waiting, I suggest that route. There are also a ton of books out there (almost all of them old) but still valuable.

Please take a few hours and search out the other posts in this area - there are bunches of them dealing with "new" questions and techniques. Just copying some of the pics and pasting into word and then printing them and cutting them would be a great help to you. You only want to start on the simpler designs though. But you are a DOER not a DREAMER so welcome to the DOER'S society!! The FEW the PROUD the ENGRAVER'S!!
