First off, I joined officially on August of 2016. However, all I did was one small post saying hi and thank you for letting me join. I added that I would be introducing myself later....lol...well LATER Happend NOW, Here on Sunday, June 4th, 2017. Yes, I am slow, not just with this forum, but life in general. Let me give you a quick run down of who I am and I am open to questions later if you have any.
I have been a scroll saw artist for 2 years now and equally as much with woodworking in the general sense of things. I use every machine and tool in a normal shop except for the standard table saw that we have. I can not afford to fall into the machine...I am paralyzed in my left leg.
My Passion is SAWDUST....lol...now, you are wondering what this has to do with Scroll Sawing? EVERYTHING
I have been working on a NEW Art Form working with Saw Dust. It is more of a System then anything. Yes, I DO Scroll Saw my Sawdust....lol....I hope to show everybody my work in the near future. I do just about ANY Kind of wood working using saw dust. Working with Sawdust is NOT A new thing, but its HOW I work with it that changes things. If I can get the word out about working with sawdust, I hope to change the woodworking community as a whole for the better (not that anything is wrong with the way thing are now....lol...I just want to ADD To the world of woodworking the surprising and delightful things a person can do with the plentiful sawdust that gets accumulated in the shop)I have not been on youtube for the last 4 months or so...for a variety of reasons, but saying that, my physical problems are not exactly getting better, infact they get worse. But, I have decided to go back to youtube because I want so much to share with the world this new art working with Sawdust. I am like a SPONGE Soaking up all the information I get from the other woodworkers and the scroll saw artists are at top of my list. In-fact, Steve Good and Russel Claridy are my Friends and I learn from both of them as often as possible. I am usually on the "Lets Talk Shop with Russ" Show on Saturday Nights too, but the last 4 months I have hidden myself away from all parts of life due to pain, and other crazy reasons. I am about ready to come back to the show and support the panel again and support Russel and his quest speakers. I have NEVER Stop supporting the Woodworking Community, I have just been behind the sense in lots of pain both physically and emotionally. My Heart has been broken so many times in my life its a wonder I can still keep a positive attitude going. Saying that, I am one of those ppl that KEEP A smile on my face and try very hard to see life in the MOST Positive aspect possible. I build not only my self up, but others as well....I look for the good in everybody where I can. I face each day with my Disability with MUCH Enthusiasm.....I look for the things in my Day that I CAN Do....instead of sit around and talk about the things in my day that I can NOT Do....I keep as positive as possible. Saying that, Everybody goes thru things and I went thru the valley the last 4 months in so many ways....but I kept pushing forward towards the Horizon. I have the BEST DAY EVER....Each and Every Day...Even on my WORST Days.....I refuse to wallo in the gunk of life and I push forward and MAKE My world the best in can be and I help others do the same. I could not do any of this stuff called "LIFE" If it were not for the Love that God gives me each and every day. Jesus is my Lord and Savior in him I put my Trust. Ok all....I am very excited to LEARN From YOU....And have YOU Learn From Me....Scrolling is a Beautiful Art, one that I am so glad to spend my time enjoying. I hope you all have the Very BEST Day Ever, I truly mean this :-)
