Tbow388 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hey everyone. My name is Tim. I live in Mooreville MS which is right outside Tupelo where Elvis was born. Lets see, I started scrolling on a Craftsman saw when my son was a baby. I made him a lot of his toys. I continued for a couple of years just doing small projects here and there. Then life happened and I let alcohol take all of my hobbies and health away from me. Finally this last year I had enough and sobered up. I dug out my old saw and started enjoying being creative again. Decided I wanted to get a little more into it and replaced the Craftsman with the new Delta. I LOVE IT!!!!!! I love making bowls and fretwork. Sometimes I scroll something out that should be cut with a spiral blade using a regular blade just for fun. I have a local place here that displays and sells my perfectly imperfect projects. I give some away and make things to donate for some local groups. Go check out my gallery and let me know what you think. Tim Jronn65, Roberta Moreton, ben2008 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Welcome to the Village and great you started scrolling again. I'm even more impressed with your getting sober. That is the REAL accomplishment. I'm proud of you. Again, welcome Tim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preprius Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I like your cowboy themes. You do have a good eye for that. Your bowls are also pretty cool. I was just thinking last night about what type of bowl to try for the first time. I agree, the best thing is to get sober. I stopped drinking in 1992.

It's been nearly 13 years( since I had a drink or cigarette. I often wonder how my life would have been all those years without booze and cigarettes. I'm 81 and paying for those mistakes now. Quite painful I might add. It's never to late to quit a bad habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can maybe share my past and help someone to not go through the same thing I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
