Hi from Portsmouth, VA

11-16-2011, 06:21 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.

Reply to Help with spray adhesive

by surrealdreams

I've tried label paper as well. It peels off reasonably well, although different brands will probably perform differently. When it doesn't come off easily, I have a little heat gun that makes release quickly. When I have used 3M spray adhesive and left it on for too long, a hair dryer or heat gun...

I saw that when I ordered the air cleaner. I mentioned it to Bruce and his comment was I’ll pass. He loves Woodpecker tools and we have quite the collection of them....
