Please enter me into this contest too. Sounds great. Fred

Hi, my name is Fred and I live in a small town in NE Indiana. I've been interested in scroll sawing for several years, and back in September I bought a Dewalt. At that time I was busy building a wood fence around my side yard and didn't have time to get started right away. About that same time we started mandatory overtime at work (12 hours/day, 6 day/week) and I was too exhausted to do anything else. When the overtime ended, I had to get started on several Christmas projects. I built a picnic table for my brother with 4 movable benches so that they can use the benches down by their pond or their garden when they aren't using the table. I built 4 garden benches for various friends and 4 Adirondack chairs for other family members. I also built an Adirondack love seat for a local charity for their Christmas Auction. I have a detached 3 car garage (no room for cars in it) that I use as my workshop, but it isn't heated and its too cold right now to work out there. Yesterday it was -18 and currently its -10 degrees here. Anyway, to make a long story short, I have yet to touch my new saw. I'm chomping at the bit to get started and I've been surfing the internet for tips and ideas, then I found this site. I love reading about all your projects and watching the videos. This site is almost, not quite but almost, as good as being able to get out to the garage. You all are really inspiring me and giving me the confidence to get started. You all need to know that you are an inspiration to a lot of people like me who have yet to put their 1st piece of wood to the scroll saw. Thanks and keep up the good work and the stories and the tips. I can't wait to get my 1st project completed so I can be a real, for sure, honest to goodness member of your community. Thanks again. Fred
