Greetings

[Greg Slagle]

I've already posted some of my woodworking successes and I am quite humbled to have received such great feedback from the Scroll Saw Village Community...  In fear of being rude, I figured I'd get on here and introduce myself... I started woodworking in 1981 when I was enrolled in a building construction class at a vocational technical school for 3 years at the same time I was in high school...  I dropped out of the Vo-Tech program my senior year in order to take some college prep classes... After I left high school, I tried my luck in college where my vocation became computer programming... I hated college so much, i dropped out after my freshman year and I joined the Air Force as a computer operator... During my Air Force career, I continued to dabble in woodworking... In 1996, I made the waterbed-style headboard below... After that, I was pretty sure I wanted to get deeper into the woodworking hobby...  I started collecting more and more woodworking tools and supplies and carted them around from base to base... I retired from the Air Force late in 2004 and shortly thereafter I received a catalog in the mail from Wildwood Designs... The catalog contained some amazing scroll saw projects that really intrigued me...  I had never used a scroll saw before but I was hoping it couldn't be too difficult so I bought a $150 Dremel scroll saw from a local hardware store, ordered a nice wall-mount grandfather clock plan from the catalog, and set about cementing my interest in the hobby... This story is getting kind of long so for the sake of brevity, I'll just say the success I had with my first scroll project was beyond my expectations... I've been intrigued with scrolling ever since...
