Scroll Saw Newbie

[GrandpawB]

Hi everyone. My name is Dale. I'm a newbie scroll saw er from Holy Toledo, Ohio. I lost my job as a Fire alarm systems inspector in '08 and took up the wood lathe mostly making pens to keep myself busy until I could get back to work. However, I have had more and more problems with Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, had surgery for that while I was off work, and my back and legs haven't been the same since. Now I can't work. My workshop isn't heated so I had my son bring my scroll saw in the house and set up in a spare bedroom. Gives me something to pass the time. I can't work very long on a project because I can't stand or sit too long without it aggravating my back. But I do enjoy woodworking so I tinker with it here and there.
