I have always loved to craft things. While in high school I was constantly in the wood shop. From High School 1977 until 1995 I did other things such as electronics, aviation, IT and the like all the while I carved things. Then in early 2004 I became medially disabled and was not able to work at what I was doing and like a lot of the other folks was going stir crazy with sheer boredom so I purchased a cheap one speed no name scroll saw for $35 and made some things with it. It worked but it was mechanically sloppy, it vibrated badly however it showed me that I wanted a better machine. I purchased a Hitachi CW40
This was a huge upgrade from my first machine. It could do the standing nickle test with no problem. I quickly became addicted and wore the machine out. I decided to bite the bullet and buy a Dewalt. I have been scrolling with it, keeping it well lubed and operating since 2005. It is, at least for me very fun to create and invent using the saw.. Currently I make coin banks and sell them on ETSY. My Shop I make just about anything I can think of, if it can be made from wood, Boxes, Bowls, 3d figures, puzzles, the sky is the limit only your imagination limits what can be made. Well that's my story an I'm stickin to it.
