Hi folks!
Met several of you at BLADE - I'm the guy whose ever-indulgent wife bought him a GRS system. Got it last Monday night and have been watching my DVDs and doing some practice.
So far I can draw a fairly nice spiral but can't do a leaf or other adornment worth cutting (getting closer though). Did get one of the little flowers in the back of the GRS manual to come out OK and I'm having much fun.
Been lurking here and absorbing as much of the good info as I can.
Decided to try doing something more like a project but since I can't do a decent scroll yet I had to fall back to a geometric design a friend and I came up with way back when. For you younger folks, this is the sort of thing math geeks did back before we had personal computers to play with.
In therory there are only straight lines in this. In actual practice there are some curves among the many, many flaws. Got some good practice doing lines though and if you're far enough back it looks pretty nice.
Have to see how I'm doing after another week.
