Woodworker seperated from his tools = Boredom haha
« on: October 13, 2011, 08:39:20 am »
My name is Sgt Jeremy Latiolais and I'm a Military Policeman currently stationed at Fort Campbell, Ky...101st Airborne Division. I've been getting more and more into woodworking the past 4 years and have built many things to include my greatest venture my 10' Skiff (boat). Unfortunately I was injured in 2007 during deployment to Iraq and the injuries have finally got the best of me so I must exit Active Duty after 8 years --- No cool story behind it besides stepping in a hole with alot of gear on and snapping my ankle in half  haha) I have always thought that a scroll saw would make a nice addition to my shop but never got one. This past week I picked up the entry level craftsman 16" saw and began youtubing and found this site. I must say it is very informative and keeps me occupied with plenty of research material. I have yet to make a cut on the saw since all of my tools are currently in storage awaiting my move to New Freedom, PA hopefully in November!!  I have a wife and 2 wonderful children waiting for me  ;D so I wait! Anyway thanks for taking the time to read this and I look foward to many more days of research! :D

Welcome Jeremy,
Thanks for your service.  I hope your move is successful and you can start scrolling soon.  I so a fair amount of scrolling, but really enjoy it when I can incorporate scrolling into a larger piece of wood working.  Sounds like that might be a natural for you as well.
