Thanks for the welcome to all of you. Brian, I used to live in Winston many, many years ago. Now I am in Greensboro.

Jim,

You may want to come to the Klingspor Woodworking store in Winston. The Carolina Scrollers  Association meets there the second Monday of every month at 6pm except for December this year. We will be meeting again in January. We also demo every Wednesday from 9:30 till around noon. This has also come to be an unofficial meeting. Normally several of the members show up and talk shop with each other and customers. We have a mentors program with several of us opening our shops up to members. There is a wide range of experience in the club from beginners to advanced and from Fret work to intarsia and everything in between. I will be there tomorrow sense I'm on Vacation.

Brian, Thank you very much for the invitation and I sure may take you up on it. I saw the story on your club and the Christmas tree project in the Scroll Saw magazine...nice write up. I was also glad to hear about Klingspor since the only woodworking store in Greensboro (Woodcraft) closed up shop and moved away. I definitely need to get over there and check that out.

 

Thanks again and I will probably see you next year.

Welcome, Jim from sunny Phoenix,AZ. Actually I live in Eastern Oregon, but we are on a short visit,now. I know if you log into The Village on a regular basis, you will find yourself surrounded by a huge family of really nice and also sharing people. Take time to explore every nook and cranny here and discover all that is offered. Hundreds of free patterns to download and cut as well as many tutorials, as well. Hope to see you often

Welcome JimC. I am about 2 hours to your North on the NC/VA border. This site is a great place to hang out.

Hi Scott and thanks for the welcome. I have been in NC since the 60's, off and on, but I am not familiar with Littleton, NC. I'll have to check it out on Google Maps.

Jim
