Hello!! I have finally taken the plunge and registered!! I have been lurking for quite some time, but decided that I wanted to join in on the fun that goes on here!! Allow me to introduce myself:
My name is Cathy Young and I live near the very small town of Overton, Nebraska with my husband Kent. Together, we have taken dance lessons for the past 7 years which we truly love. About 3 1/2 years ago I was looking for something else to occupy some of my spare time. We were shopping in a home improvement store one day when I found it!! They were demonstrating a scroll saw. We bought one that day and I have been scrolling ever since. We took a class at the community college where the teacher sparked my interest in compound cuts. I call them “magic cuts” because you cut one side, turn it, cut the other side and out pops something wonderful. I learned just enough in that class to know I wanted more.
Since then I have cut lots of different things. I like making things like baskets, boxes and banks (I call them the 3 b's). But I'm always looking for something different!! I have been very fortunate to attend the Branson Scrollsaw Picnics the last 3 years which I have thoroughly loved!!
I do still consider myself a "newbie" as I don't get as much time on the saw as I like. I have an extremely stressful job as a criminal records clerk in a very busy court. I needed something for stress relief. That's where my scrollsaw comes in. I don't think about anything when I'm scrolling except the wood and the blade.... life is good!!
Oh my, sorry to ramble on!! I'm looking forward to being a part of this group!! I'm sure that I will learn much more than I can contribute, but I'll give it my best shot!!
