Greetings From Peculiar, Missouri - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Peculiar Fretworks · 07-16-2006, 10:56 PM

Hi Everyone,
I just returned from the Branson, Missouri Scroll Saw Picnic where I learned of this message board and wanted to get involved in it. As an introduction I am Richard Preator and as a hobbie I am an avid scroll sawyer and also restore Victorian Fretwork patterns.
Since I am a Vendor at the Picnics and have my own web site selling patterns, I don't want anyone on this forum to ever get the feeling that I am using this forum as a method of promoting my patterns. Peculiar Fretworks is a hobby and I want it to stay that way.....
I would be glad to help anyone with scroll sawing information, or questions about the hobby. I also have been collecting as much of the history of the craft (History Nut Too) as possible, and would be glad to share that information.
Thanks for letting me a part of this group!!

Welcome, Richard!
I hope you enjoy it here and participate often. I know there are quite a few cutters here just looking for bigger challenges - you may be able to whet their appetites.

Thanks for joining our family.
Sandy

Welcome Richard! Glad you found your way to this great forum! I know after meeting you at the picnic and viewing your patterns and hearing about what you do, I look forward to what all you'll bring to the table

I know there are many of our members who enjoy doing fretwork of the Victorian type and design. (Evie you'll love his patterns!)

Nice to have met you, and hope you enjoy your stay here.
