Bo Liljeborn Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 I am from Sweden near the East coast and partly raised and still lives part of the year on a small island in the Baltic sea, 60 years old and by my friends described as a man of many trades. Sense childhood has I been doing some form of woodwork, from hand carving, woodturning repairing wooden objects to construction work, building and repairing wooden houses and buildings. Some 6 years ago I attended a course in freehand signcarving and has been making traditional wooden sigs sense, both for private and businesses and its very fun. Some time ago I found a Scroll Saw behind some rubbish in the joined workshop I am a member of, it was a Hegner Multicut 1, it was not in working order so I fixed it up and started to cut and I liked it, and it opens a number of possibilities to combined with my signcarving. So now I have a new tool in my toolbox as a woodworker. Woodworking being my hobbie and side business, my profession is as a teacher in maritime navigation and seamanship, and I also work for the Swedish Sea Search and rescue organization so I spend a lot of time out on the water helping people in need, what job even include being a part-time firefighter.

rafairchild2 Posted November 28, 2023 Report Share Posted November 28, 2023 Welcome aboard from VA Beach VA. I am almost 62, and a civilian at NATO (hopefully Sweden will become a member soon) Now you got yourself a great dumpster find. Even better you repaired it! Feel free to ask away with your questions, and of course, show what you have created. This is a very good, encouraging group of folks with their love of woodworking in common (and other things too!) Check out my links below, I have tips and such both in Video and blog format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
