ChelCass Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 When every time you see a piece of wood you run thru your mind all the patterns you have and which one would look the best on this piece of wood. Or when someone throws away a scrap piece of wood and you rush to rescue it. Guilty on both accounts!!! woodworker13403A 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjR Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I think the group has solved the riddle! BUT, I think the measure is that your first saw is still a treasure! That is 60 years later! I plead guilty to the last one! Yes, I have had my first scrollsaw 60 years now! YES! It still works! wombatie and amazingkevin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 You see a lovely piece of wood and you just have to have it because you have the perfect project for it. OR You get so angry at having to do other things when all you want to do is get to the saw.
