cashew Posted May 16, 2020 Report Share Posted May 16, 2020 (edited) I just realized that I never introduced myself -- I'm a former plumber in my professional life. Then just over 2 years ago (January 2018) I needed a secret santa gift. Being a bit broke I found a piece of cedar fence and made a box -- very basic. But then I was hooked. After that I worked with my Dremel for a year -- Was gifted my first scroll saw (Ryobi) Jan 2019 and up-graded to a Pegas earlier this year. No previous experience in woodworking beyond a little construction so I'm teaching myself as I go. My working name comes from combining the first initials of all my kids - their spouses - and grandkids and playing with them till I found something that made sense -- can I buy a vowel please?
