I'm going to cheat a little on this reply
This was not done last year but rather 38+ years ago after I started this great hobby
I may be off topic a bit, so I apologize for that
When I came out of rehab(drugs and alcohol, the good old days) I needed something to keep me busy
Long story short, I found a scrollsaw which I knew nothing about and bought it when I saw that the
pattern book had Christmas ornaments. I'll make some ornaments, have my son and daughter paint them.
Then I saw this little guy and just had to try and cut him out of wood.
He's precious to me and it was a great moment when I finished him. (see the pun there....LOL)
So, he's sitting there as I was one day, wondering if I made the right decision with rehab and this life changing time
for me, my wife, my kids, my job, friends...
Well, I can honestly say that this little guy and I both agree that it was and has been the best decision I ever made in my life.
38 +years sober and drug free and it hasn't been all that bad.
Still married to a wonderful girl who could have easily walked away but she never did.
