BigBubbaG Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I was a carpenter for about 25 years. Been scrolling off and on over the years. I had serious blood clots in my legs and ended up losing my left leg almost a year ago. Being forced into retirement and not really able to do my usual woodworking very well but I can sit and enjoy my scroll saw so I've been getting serious into my scrolling. I grew up in Texas, moved to Maryland for 22 years, and the last 2 years have been back in Texas. It's sure nice to be home! Been married for 33 years, 2 grown sons and 5 grandsons and 1 granddaughter. Anyway, enough of my rambling. Looking forward to "meeting" new friends, learning more about my hobby, and I'm thinking I may be interested in learning pattern making. BTW, I found this forum from watching pattern making videos on you tube. RabidAlien and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi Greg and welcome to the Village from East Tennessee. Glad to have you join us. We have several members who are from Texas - but given how big that State is, they may or may not be anywhere close to you. With 6 grandchildren, you will have lots of people you can scroll for. Look forward to your participation. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
