I'm happy to be a new member of this group. I'm from Butler, PA, which is about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh (Go Steelers!). I'm married with 2 daughters. My oldest is married and my youngest just graduated high school.
I've been scrolling, casually for several years, mostly simple plaques and ornmanents. It was the ornaments that got me started. I make them every year and give dozens away to family & friends. Recently I decided I wanted to get a little more serious about this hobby and try some more challenging projects. I'm still in the getting more serious phase and haven't tackled the challenging projects yet, but I bought a new saw last year, a Dewalt 788, to replace my old Craftsman. I also joined a Scroll Saw Club in my area and the guys have really opened up a whole new world of scrolling for me. Someday, when time allows, I really want to make some of those beautiful fretwork clocks. That's the kind of challenging project I mentioned earlier.
Anyway, I hope to hang around here a little bit, learn a few things, enjoy the company and maybe even offer my own $.02 once in awhile.
