  24. I did all the usual mummy crafts, knitting, sewing, embroidery, etc. But was never 100% happy with what I did. Fast forward too many years, I still went to show that sold beads, quilting material etc. and my husband always came with me. One year he asked if I would like to go to the Melbourne Working With Wood Show, they sold wood, finishes, large machinery, all things related to wood. Anyway off we went with me really not looking forward to it but low and behold I thoroughly enjoyed myself. At this time I was also doing tole painting with a group of other ladies and our 'teacher' was always asking Terry for different shapes that he would cut on the band saw or jig saw. We also went to a wood turning exhibition and it was the first time that it actually hit me that women could actually be really good at wood turning so I started to have lessons and I got quite good at it. One day we went to Melbourne and came home with a scroll saw so that Terry could cut shapes for the tole classes but 2 weeks later it all folded and I lost interest in painting and Terry never got to use his new scroll saw. One Sunday I took him a cup of tea into the garage and looked at the scroll saw and asked how it worked, he showed me, I messed about with it and the following week I got a book on scrolling. Never one to read anything like how to sections, I found a pattern I like sticky taped it down and cut it, I was hooked. I still have that first piece. Most of what I sell is by word of mouth, I make enough to keep in in wood and blades that's all I need. That first saw was a 16" Delta and I worked it to death, I sold it last year for $50 to a guy that was rebuilding his, so it lives to cut a bit more. Marg
  25. You did the pattern proud. Excellent work Marg
