My husband is a woodworker and about 3-4 years ago, he dragged me to a woodworking toy shop (Rockler's). While he was shopping, I browsed the book section. I loved, loved some of the projects in the books, so out of the blue he bought me a scroll saw. I learned with a "how to" book and have made some nice items and gifts. It's nice to be in the garage with him while he's working on a project and I have lots of scraps at my disposal.
