New Member - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

campasano · 12-16-2007, 04:08 PM

I am a fairly new member and have not visited too often due to some health problems.I have acute arthritis and am not able to move around as much as I would like. I miss my shop but with some future medical intervention I may be able to start working around the shop once again. I have all of the main woodworking tools as well as many hand tools. I have not done too much of scrollsawing as yet as I am still in the learning process. I make some furniture and many different animated whirligigs. I am retired, married and have three grown children and five grandchildren who are the joy of my life. I reside in Citrus Heights California and love the mild climate, I will try to be more active on this site in the future.......MIKE

Hi Mike, I recognized the handle. This is a great forum also with plenty of helpful info. I also know that you can offer a lot of good advice. So if you are unable to be in the shop right now just pull up a chair log on to all the sites and join in. Steve

Welcome to the forum Mike. Glad you found us.

As mentioned, if you can't actually get to working with your tools and scrolling, spending time with us might be the next best thing.

Take care
Toni
