Thanks so much to Steve
« on: July 13, 2010, 07:40:58 am »
I don't really start a lot of topics, although I do chime in a lot with what is here.  I am sure that there are many threads with the subject line 'Thanks to Steve' for all the wonderful things he does for our group here, but I felt I really wanted to say something that 'goes without staying' but is better said anyway. 

Thanks, Steve for all the hard work you do for scroll sawing.  I loved the pictures from the SAW Expo along with the commentary.  It really helped those of us who weren't able to attend feel that we were part of the event. For me anyway, it made me want to work harder to make it to a future show and be part of things myself.

I know I am not alone in saying how much you are appreciated for your work at promoting scroll sawing.  You help everyone in the industry from vendors to small businesses to people who are new to sawing and provide a fun and educational place for us to share our passion for woodworking and meet new friends and exchange information.

I personally have loved the site here and have made many new friends because of it.  It has not only made my days better, but has inspired me to work even harder to promote scroll sawing in general. You are a fine example.  It is wonderful to meet so many talented and gifted people who are willing to help others.  It has been a pleasure to be a member and I look forward to hearing from the 'regulars' as well as welcoming newcomers into our forum.

It is a tremendous amount of work on your part and I just want to say how much I appreciate it. Thanks so much.  :)

Sheila, you hit the nail on the head, very nicely put and so very true. I join everyone in thanking Steve for all he does. I have cut many of his patterns and the best part is they are FREE. Thank you Steve.

I have to add my thanks to Steve also.  I "thought" I'd like to learn to scrollsaw, found this site and watched his many videos for my initial learning.  Then used some of his free patterns for my projects, and finally, used this board to ask other members for a bit of help, which they gave.  I've never had this much help/training from any other source before.

Were it not for Steve, I would still be using that old clunker of a saw that I bought to cut out 'acorns' for WoodPecker feeders and that is it.
I stumbled on Steve's blog and away I went!

It is all Steve's Fault!

Thanks Steve!!!!!

Well said Sheila. When I found Steves site I was searching for box patterns, then clicked on some of his links, then found your site and many others. I also watched Steves videos and and learned a lot about scrolling, then Steve started this Forum and now I have meet a great group of friends. Thank You Steve, for starting it all.
