Back scrolling at last - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Ned · 04-30-2009, 01:03 AM

Hi all
Its been quite some time since I have posted anything. I had back surgery in Sept 08 and have not been able to sit at the scrollsaw for any length of time. I have managed to finish the Looking Home Intarsia that I managed to obtain from Bruce a couple of months ago. Its taken me that long to get it finished. Only working for a couple hours every two or three days. It sure is a good feeling to get something completed again. Its been about 8 months since my last completion. I hope this post comes out OK.

Welcome back, good to hear you are on the mend. The Looking Home piece is fantastic!

That is something you can surely be proud of.

Great Job, Ned. Glad to hear you are slowly mending up good and still having some fun doing what you love. This one is on my list of to dos and you have done an excellent job IMHO!

Hi Ned - a great project and good news that you are scrolling again. Having just had 3 months out from scrolling after a nasty table saw accident to my right hand I know what you must be going through. Stick with it, take your time and things will hopefully work out for the better.

All the best and hope to see more of your work soon

Welcome back Ned
That's a lovely piece you've done there. I know how you must have been feeling not being able to get on your saw. I've just been " grounded" due to health issues and find it very frustrating. The main thing is though, you're on the mend. Hope you get back up to speed very soon Ned. Then we can see more of your great work.
