A Class at Woodcraft

[countryscroller]

Well it was more like a hang out for scrollers, but yesterday I went to a free class for scrollers at my local Woodcraft. Just as I expected it, I was the youngest there by about 30 years   It was nice to talk in person with other scrollers and woodworkers. Sharing ideas and work. The main attraction meant for the class was two individuals, I forget their names, but they were scrolling compound cut chess pieces. Everyone was very friendly and it was quite fun. I handed out a card I had in my wallet, but didn't even think to bring more. I will be going back every month for the get together they have. Scrolling brings a great community of people. Oh and everyone knew Steve Good of course.

Sounds great, wish we had a place to get together with other scrollers. The nearest Woodcraft store is about 60 miles from my house , sort of north of Houston.

[countryscroller]

Yeah, they are not very populated across the U.S. Mine is about a 40 minute drive, but it is worth it because I stick around town for a while. Have dinner then go to Woodcraft for a few hours.

I have a woodcraft store its about 30 min away but way up in the north side of the city. I want to go to check it out.

[countryscroller]

You should go! It is a place where everyone there enjoys the same hobby as you do. Maybe not the same category of woodworking like scrolling, turning, carving, furniture making, ect. but it is nice to talk with others that understand what your talking about.

[it is nice to talk with others that understand what your talking about.] Heck!! most of the time I don't know what I'm talking about

I believe that Dan Gallo, a former contributor and great asset to the forum, teaches at a Woodcraft in California.  I still hate it that Dan elected to leave us.  He is a great guy.

For those that don't have a Woodcraft store near them, try the Gwinnett Woodworkers on You Tube. Their shows are there regular weekly meetings, cover all sorts of wood working, including 1 1/2 Hr show on puzzle making. There is 125 of these shows. And remember, CountryScroller has a bunch of shows also on You Tube.

I've followed Gwinnett ever since Steve posted their meetings that are related to scrolling on his blog. The get together they have is kind of like the Woodcraft where I went. I wish it was more than once a month though.

Yeah we do, and thanks for bringing up the  Gwinnett Woodworkers.
but being there and participating will be so much more fun I guess.
