Hi from UK
« on: January 04, 2014, 04:18:58 pm »
Hi All,
Just a quick introduction. I am from the UK and am now semi-retired from the police service where I served as a dog handler.
I started scrolling about a year ago with a cheap entry level saw. I soon realised that this would be the hobby for me and treated myself to an Excalibur 21" which I am very pleased with. I have completed several projects from names to slightly more technical things such as the humming bird series from Steve's library.
I now want to progress onto portraits and will be posing a few questions I'm sure.

Thanks for a very informative site.

Dave

Welcome to the forum. I'm Jim from Montana. I spent 25 years in local law enforcement. I began scrolling as a stress reliever. Even though I'm retired, I still love doing it. Glad to see you here.

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum. I'm Marg from Australia.  One question for you, I have always wondered, when you retire does your dog retire too or does he just get a new handler?
