Hi from Portsmouth, VA

11-16-2011, 05:21 PM

Been woodworking for over 25 years, scroll sawing for about 16 years (off and on). First machine was a very basic saw with no goodies. Newest (and hopefully last) saw is a machine with a blower and light. I am very pleased with it.

I am married (31+ years) 3 daughters. I retired from the U. S. Coast Guard in 2009 after 30 years of service. I work at a shipyard.

Besides woodworking I enjoy watching the Bills on TV, NASCAR on TV and sometimes in person (who ever drives the 43 car, been a Petty fan since the late '60s), reading military history and most non-fiction.

Scroll sawing is addicting, I love it so much. It is so wonderful to be able to take a piece of raw material and turn it into something wonderful.

I did that with Creative Woodworks. But when Bruce's group had their monthly meetings and swaps, somehow or other the ones I didn't buy ended up here! I keep all my holiday ones separate. But I also look at other patterns and think how I can reuse it. But sometimes that is just too much for my brain...

Since I refuse to subscribe till they do something about the patterns in the pull out. They even made the DVD tough to print patterns.

What I do is look at the index of the book on scrollsawer.com and if see something I might want to cut I go to Walmart and check out the book. If I like...

I too miss Bob Duncan. I do not think anyone from FC has taken over that role at least on this forum. If they have I am not sure who. Like Betty, I owe a lot to FC and this forum. If it was not for them and this forum I would have probably turned my saw into a boat anchor years ago. Oh how I looked...
