Hello from the Netherlands!

Hi there!

 

I am Jovico, 31 years old and I live in Enschede. Yes try to speak it oud loud. You will need A glass of water!

I live there with my wife and 10 months old son. It is a beatiful city just at the border of Germany, 15 years ago there was a big disaster and a whole neighbourhood was vanished and allot of people died and where marked for life, A fireworks factory caught fire.

 

I first met the scroll saw when I worked at a woodfirm, the first attempt where Christmas ornaments. I just loved it and it made my mind clear and relaxt. So I bought a scroll saw, a cheap one unfortunnaly but it works. I still need one that has the sawblade without a pin then I don't have to work with the handsaw anymore.

I get allot of assignments for letters/names or decoration on the wall. Like owls or butterflies. I made my first Steve good piece "The Cornershelf". I want to make more fretwork but I will need a better scroll saw!

I added a photo of one of my assignments.

 

So this was my introduction, sorry for my bad spelling but hey I'm dutch!

Welcome to the Village Jovico.  I'm Marg from Australia.  Pull up a chair and make yourself at home.  We don't have breakfast everyday unfortunately because some people are slack and don't make any.  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:   By the way I love your hangers.

Jovico,

      I am also very happy to have you here in the Village. You need to do one important thing here, that being to log on often and post  comments where you can, as that helps us to get to know you. if you do this, you will find that quickly you will feel right at home as you start to also know us. We are a world wide family that cares about each other, this includes you too. Do not be hesitant to explore all we have to offer and I think you will be glad you did that. 

   I remember the fire works disaster, It was such a horrible thing, I hope none of your loved ones were injured in it. I just visited Washington DC, our countries capital and while i was there I saw a beautiful bell tower, filled with many bells that was a gift from your country to ours in thanks for our help in the liberation of the Nazi Germans during the second world war. My thanks to your country for the remembrance of our effort to help regain back a peaceful country for your people, again
