Hello From Milwaukee

[wiscTom]

I’ve been lurking for a couple of weeks and thought it was about time I introduced myself. I’ve been scrolling for about 10 years since I received an inexpensive pin-end scroll saw as a gift. I upgraded to a pin-less saw about 5 years ago and have been mainly scrolling fretwork design patterns for friends and family.

I recently decided to expand my woodworking tools arsenal with the purchase of a decent router table and router. I’m thinking that my first router project will be a router table cabinet … now I have to figure out where to incorporate the scrolling into the cabinet

Looking forward to following the message threads …. Tom In Wisconsin

Tom:

Big Welcome. Hope you enjoy your vists here.

BTW (and OT): Does Milwaukee still have Summer Fest down by Lake Michigan? Went to a few back in the 1970's and had a great time with the music and the HUGE amount of beer being served.

Welcome Tom. Im Dale, just south of you, in Racine County, Kansasville to be exact. Theres a ton of info in here for us Cheeseheads.
And Phil, yes Summerfest is still going strong! Come on up sometime.I actually havent been to summerfest in about 10 years, I guess Im either too old for that, or to tight to pay for parking (or both). Dale

Thanks for the welcome guys …

Summer Fest in the 70’s …. brings back memories of younger days when I was in a band that played there.

I still catch it occasionally, during the day, but it gets a little too crowded for me at night (sure sign of getting old).

I’m looking forward to learning from the experts on this forum. I doubt that I’ll be able to offer much advice, but maybe someone can learn from all the mistakes I seem to make.
