Title: Hello From Phoenix
Post by: troy_curtis on June 09, 2012, 06:37:50 pm
I just want to introduce myself. I am a new scroll saw enthusiast. Most my life I have done very little in the area of wood work. I am not known as a "Mr Fix-it" by any means. So, this past Christmas when I told my wife I wanted a scroll saw she almost fainted. Well she loves to spoil me and got me that saw. So here I am, a 43 year old kid playing with his new toy. I am still new at making this saw work and creating things worth keeping. (I have a pile of scraps from broken projects. I just use them to keep practicing). This blog is a fantastic site full of great info. I love this site and know I would be a lot farther behind in my learning without it. Thanks to all who make this site work and worthwhile.

Here's a "hey" from Rim Country to both AZ'ers.  Happy to say, it's a little cooler in Payson for some scrolling.  Welcome aboard and keep that sawdust coming.

My shop is perfectly air conditioned...I work outside in a shaded spot. When the wind blows I have perfect AC...of course it is much nicer when it isnt 108 out.

What part of Texas you in Julie, we had a Royse City address for a couple years till the grand babies moved out. Then we picked where we wanted to go, Arizona. Loved every minute since, no tornados.
Have a great day.

I lived in Royse City for 17 years.  I moved down to Thrall in 2008.  It is a small town east of Round Rock and Georgetown.  Love it here.
