ptboems Posted July 24, 2010 Report Posted July 24, 2010 Hi....I started scroll sawing two years ago when I lost my right leg to diabetes. I took wordworking in school but due to working and raising a family I didn't do anything with it for years. I still work full-time and would like to spend MORE time in my little shop but I am a little young yet for retirement and my lottery tickets have not produced.....yet!! I enjoy imensely reading this and other forums. I have learned more from others in the past two years than I could on my own in a lifetime. Everyone is so generous with their knowledge, tricks of the trade and sharing patterns. Thanks very much for the opportunity to belong with all of you and I look forward to learning more. Regards.....Bob. Quote

wedo scroll Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Bob, glad you found and joined us. I also have diabetes and am fighting to keep my blood sugar under control.

grampa Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Bob and welcome to the Village.............Paul Quote
Travis Posted July 26, 2010 Report Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Bob. Welcome to the Village. I love buying lottery tickets too, but hate checking to see if I'm a winner. Its much more fun to imagine spending that money than being brought back to the harsh reality that I'm $2 poorer. But if I do win, I'll certainly get a lot of shop time! Anyway, welcome aboard. Jump in and have some fun! Quote
