back in the shop - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

groverd · 12-19-2009, 02:59 AM

After my health problems, starting in Aug, i finally got out to the shop, fired up old yellow and started cutting a protrait. . . After a couple weeks in the hospital and getting the new pacemaker installed it felt really good!! It is amazing how ones skills dissappear when they are not used! But by going down a blade size and slowing the saw somewhat the resulrts are not bad!! Hopefully the recovery keeps going in the same direction and i can continue making sawdust!!
It is good to be back!

Glad to have you back, but please don't push it too hard. Back in the shop though is going to be good therapy!

Glad you are back Grover. It always feels good to get back on the saw after a medical procedure, it always did for me.
