Hello from Alaska! - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

bearfretworks · 11-12-2005, 04:02 AM

Thought I'd sign up after lurking for a few weeks. This looks like a great community and I hope to learn from the experts as well as contribute some, if I can.

My name is Barry, I'm from Anchorage Alaska, and I am a wood hacker..... Seems like there are 11 more steps to go......... I've been scrolling for almost 1.5 years now and love it. I like fretwork, wildlife and floral patterns, and am thinking of diving into intarsia. Currently cutting lots of different ornaments and have made some trophies fr both my dauguters gymnastics teams.

Again, looking forward to becoming a part ofthis community!

Hi Barry, glad you decided to join up, it's much better when you can take part in something rather than just looking. You get much more out of it that way.

Barry-

Welcome to the forum. You will find excellent advice here, all you have to do is ask.

Welcome to the forum Barry--
This is a good group with a lot of experience. The forum is fun and offers a great deal for the hobbiest and "professional" alike. Look forward to seeing some of your work.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Just got back from a short trip and will try to make the time to post some photo's of my work here soon as I'm sure "ya'll" could use a chuckle or two!!!
