Back at my saw.

[Foxfold]

I haven't done any work for a while as I've been under a consultant with my lungs. Having scans, blood tests and biopsy.

But the good news is I'm fine and can now go back to my workshop.

Now lets see if I remember how to work a scrollsaw.

Happy to see you back to your saw Brenda! Just take care of yourself and listen to what your body tells you.

[Norm Fengstad]

Glad you are back and can relate to lung problems, I have COPD so I mask up always, have a fan with a furnace filter tied onto it at the back of the scrollsaw to draw the dust away from me and a vacuumn to draw the dust from under the table as well as a shop air cleaner and all other tools have dust collection capabilities other wise I would be a sick puppy with nothing to do but sit, watch tv and feel sorry for myself

Glad to hear you going to be back at it. Please be careful and take care of your health. PPE goes a long way when used properly. Stay safe and enjoy getting back to making saw dust.

I can relate to all you say. My hubby has copd,  I have fluid that's turned to jelly under my lung and it's displacing the lung. They think I've had a pneumonia at some point. However, it's hoped it will dissipate over time and will re-scan me in 3mths. But my lungs themselves have been given the all clear.

I must admit to looking like 'Darth Vadar' when I'm in my workshop, I have a mask, ear defenders, an extraction fan on the outside wall, a vacuum, and a box fan.

That's great news Brenda. I don't want to hear about losing another scroller for a good long while.

Glad to hear you are doing better, Brenda, and look forward to hearing that
everything clears itself up.
Take care of yourself and entertain us with your beautiful work as you find
the time and ambition.

God Bless! Spirithorse

[Denny Knappen]

Good news.  I hope you keep improving.

[bandaideman]

Glad your doing well again and hope the fluid clears out. My dad always said getting older is not for the faint of heart and he will be 100 on March 5.  Keep up the dust prevention, masks etc. if asked if he has any secret to a long life he just says don't stop breathing.

Good news Brenda. Glad to hear you are able to get back to the saw and your lungs are good and hopefully the rest clears up soon for you.

[Sparkey]

Great news. Glad to hear you are doing good. I am in the shop a lot but have been bitten buy the wood turning bug so I haven’t used my scroll saw much.

[wombatie]

Fabulous news Brenda.  Can't wait to see your beautiful creations.

It's nice to know you're back on the saw... but it's much nicer to know you are healthy enough to do so! Happy scrolling!

Good to hear you are fine. I had to stop for a few months with chemo side effects. Still having them but had to get back on the saw. I hope you get back to what you were cause I'm not even close.
