Hi From Indiana
« on: December 18, 2012, 08:19:11 am »
I'm just getting started in the scroll saw madness.... been doin it for about 6 mo, and I LOVE IT !!! I do my scrollin a lil different than most of you do though i bet.....??? I do mine in bed.... yea you read that right.... I was injured in an auto accident almost 4 years ago, and I'm now a quadriplegic.... still have the use of my arms, and part of my hands, so i have my wife, or my aide put my saw on a board on my lap, and i cut away....
Well just wanted to say hello, and give you a lil peek into my life as a Quadriplegic Scroll Saw Artist....

Hi Quad2009, I'm Roy from Scotland, welcome to the madhouse. Glad you joined us, you'll have some fun here and if you have any questions just ask and you'll have an answer in no time. The only stupid question is the one you don't ask.
Your courage is admirable. Have a wonderful Christmas and a good New Year.
From a cold Scotland.
Rob Roy.

 :D Hello and Welcome!  This "scrolling family tree" has a lot nuts on it, but we have fun.

I am a sick minded old woman and, after reading your intro, my first thought was, "Oh itchy sheets"

Hi Quad, I'm Keith from Cornwall U.K. welcome to the forum.
I admire your courage too, it can't be easy to live a normal life with such disabilities, It's great to see you haven't given up and have taken up a hobby to keep yourself active. As Rob said there is no such thing as a stupid question just the un-asked ones. The members here are like a second family, and have helped me and countless others with our little (and big) problems and to the best of my knowledge (which isn't a lot lol) they haven't failed to answer/resolve any problems posted. I look forward to seeing some of your work.
It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.
