Thread: My first Project

G'Day everyone I am a new Scroller and I received my Ryobi Scroll Saw for a Christmas present.
I have downloaded a few of Steve Goods (Scrollsaw Workshop) free patterns from his emails that I signed up to a few weeks back, as well as some from his pattern gallery.
I have been doing OK with a practice pattern I googled and decided that today would be a good time to tackle an actual pattern.
So I decided that it should also be a project that I would use all the time in my little workshop.
One of Steve's patterns,The Pusher stuck out. So away I went, printed off the pattern, cut a piece of pine board to size and stuck on some Clear Contact, (yes I have been paying attention to Steve's emails) and applied some Spray Adhesive to the back of my pattern and mounted it onto the contact.
I and have found that the process of getting the blade through a drilled whole to make cut-outs, to be very tedious with the Ryobi, so I was only thinking of doing the handle cut-out and the outside cut. But as you will see from the 2 attached pictures, once I had made these first cuts my confidence rose and I decided to go ahead with the rest of the cut-outs. Got to have a go to learn after all, I said to myself.
I think I did pretty well for my first attempt so I thought I would show everyone here at the Scroll Saw forum how I went.
