Title: Hello from San Diego
Post by: chief on April 21, 2010, 12:18:13 am

Well I have enjoyed Steve's video's on YouTube and now a forum.  I am in the Navy and I am getting back into woodworking.  My last hobby was cars but they are too expensive.

Hey, Chief. Retired Chief here on the east coast. Always like to see a fellow sailor. I was into cars, in particular, corvette's. You're right, too expensive. Then motorcycles, again, expensive. I still have my motorcycle for economical transportation. Now enjoy woodworking. Fair winds and following seas, my friend.

Chief,

I'm a civilian mariner, who takes his scrolling to see with him.  It's the only power tool that I can carry with me.

Thats pretty cool you can take your saw with you.  I wish they would let me do that, no then I would never get any job related work done.  We would have all kinds of neat scrollsaw pictures around the ship though.
Where are you homeported at?

Chief,

I live in VA, but my ship usually sails on the west coast.  For most of the past decade I've been running SFO to Portland Or, with occasional trips to Hawaii, Canada, LA, and the Gulf of Mexico.
