marmoh Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I have always wanted to do some type of woodworking. I had to wait until I was a great grandmother to be able to see my dream come true. Thanks to my brother in law, I now have a scroll saw and numerous other shop tools. I have only been using the scroll saw for a couple of months and have loved every minute of it. I have gone so far as to tear apart a pallet to have wood to use until I could order some, but have actually made so nice things out of the wood. I've learned a lot of things by reading forums and watching video's. Thanks for having me here, and I am sure I will have a lot of questions and need a lot of advise along the way.
