k9dave Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi, Just a quick introduction, my name is Mel and I am from Surrey in the UK. I am a semi retired police dog handler and have been scrolling for about a year now. Started off with an entry level saw (Clarkes) soon found that this was going to be the hobby for me and so invested in a 21" Excalibur which I love. Started my career in 1975 as a beat bobby and then in 1983 I joined the dog section where I spent the next 26 years doing the thing I loved. During this time I had several dogs ranging from Spaniels to Rottweilers. The Rottie's name was Dave hence my handle Look forward to sharing with you and learning from your experience.

LarryEA Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Hey Mel, Welcome! I guess you've toured a bit by now. There is much here to see and 'do'. Check the gallerys and especially the pattern library. Read the posts and get ideas and add your "Just my tuppence worth" (Hope I got thet right). And a warning, there is no semi-retiring from scrolling. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
