My husband is a carpenter and a wood turner, so theres always been wood around but I alway did the girlie things you know like sewing and knitting. Then about 15 years ago we went to a Woodturning Show and competition and I realized women could turn too so I started going to classes. I was also doing folk art at the time and my instructor was asking my husband for different shapes like teddy bears, dolls, cats etc. and so he brought a scroll saw. He had had it a couple of days and I was in the garage and it caught my eye, I asked him how it worked and as they say the rest is history. Since then he has never been on it and I have never been off it. I did upgrade a few years ago and I got a DeWalt. But I finally found something that I really liked to do and that I was good at. I am hooked forever now. I hope to teach my Grandchildren in the future.
