Hi from Tennessee

[Dennis Key]

My name is Dennis ... A.K.A. Preacherman ... I  as you can guess by my title a Preacher. Me and my wife of 27 years  have a ministry for the homeless for the past 7 yrs ..I have 2 sons . I have lived my whole life in S.E. Tennessee I love it here  I have worked with wood in one form or another  for many years.My dad was a carpenter as well as my brothers and most of my uncles as well I decided to start scroll sawing  as a hobby I love working with wood... I used to draw a lot then, I picked up wood burning,then just small things I want to do portraits and just scroll work, people is already asking me to make things... I am in the process if building me a small workshop weather permitting I will have it finished this spring

Thanks to all the people that have welcomed me feels good  to make new friends ... Bless each of you

Good morning Dennis

 

Welcome to the village. You deserve a lot of credit for having a ministry for the homeless. Must give you a lot of gratification helping those who at times need guidance. Wish you all the best with your new found hobby and look forward to seeing your projects. Have a beautiful day.

Welcome to the Village Dennis. I'm Roy from Scotland, and if you look around the site I think we could call it The GLOBAL Village. So come on in and add your experience to the  mix. All credit to you in your vocation too and I'm quite sure you will be kept busy with it. Best Wishes.

Dennis,

     I bet you have already noticed that this is one big happy family here and we all have our arms outstretched to welcome you here. There are many things to see and participate in here and we all hope that you do manage to make it back here often. You have already found out that we have members located all over the world. I hope that you post some of the things that you have made or are working on, We enjoy sharing our work with each other and keeping in touch with one another. Even if you make a huge mistake like drilling  a hole in the wrong part of a pattern and messing it all up, share it because we too have done the same thing from time to time..OK, maybe olny I have, but there is a cure for everything to do with scrolling that can be found here, so even then, all is not lost.

 

WELCOME TO THE VILLAGE, WHICH WILL SOON BE YOUR HOME TOO
