Title: Hi All
Post by: mikeh53 on November 17, 2010, 11:13:09 pm

Just wanted to make a quick introduction

Mike Harvey
SW Indiana

I am new to this forum... Have been scrolling for a short time.
Hooked well though.  Bought a RBI wood show demo... (Love the saw!)  I also have a Delta.  (It?s a good saw but not as good as the RBI) I have normal the assortment of large woodworking tools and hand tools for a fairly well equipped shop...

I have been making Christmas ornaments the past few days, I also like doing puzzles, I just gave 75 small cut out cars, trucks, plains to local toys for tots type toy group in the small town where I Pastor.  I have a few more on hand for kids at the church and quiet toys to give kids of visitors.  (Mostly done on my band saw with 1/8 inch blade) (Cutting 2 By ** Oak seems overkill for my scrollbars, I use hardwood cut off's from a sawmill where I get fire wood (Heat with wood in Shop and in the house) I Like to cut, its a stress reliever, and also the kids like the toys and puzzles,  (working on a black forest type fretwork clock for my daughter for Christmas)

Welcome Mike: I fear for you, you've fallen into a trap of "Scrolling". Now your time is not your own. People always asking "Can you make me a this or that". This is the worst time of year - Now I have Santa asking too. It's a never ending story, year after year, the same thing happens. Thank you God for keeping me so busy. I hope more people have this problem. I try to spread the word or setting the trap.
