I'm getting so close to coming back to my scroll saw work its scary. I purchased this tiny place in Alberta and found there just was no room for my tools or for me to work, unlike Mexico where I just worked outside most the time. So I tossed the idea around for an addition on the house then a garage and a workshop etc etc well they all were way more then my budget would allow then I came up with this brilliant Idea why not pick up one of those portable offices/lunchroom /first aid shack so I browsed around and located one last week for a reasonably sum so I took delivery today now just get things organized and a little renovating and we'll be set. Note the table folds down into a bed, pretty well a must when you get accustomed to siestas as I am. the size is 8.5 feet x 24 feet. See you all soon.

OK OK I'm still in Mexico being held up by bureaucracy My truck has been sitting here loaded for about 2 weeks and every time we make one step forward they push me back 2 steps but really folks its Getting closer, We finally closed on the house sale on Thursday,Friday was a stat holiday here so Monday were going in the apply for a safe passage permit from the Mexican Govt. to drive my foreign Pickup out of Mexico. They will give me 5 days to drive it out. In the mean time I have purchased a home in a small farmers village in Alberta so I'm looking forward to starting up once I get there. I gave most of my scrollwork art away as there was only so much room in my little Ranger Oh well it was out of hand anyway. So with any luck I should be on the road by Friday and in Canada The following Friday So once I get set up I'll be back on a regular basis to talk with you guys. Miss you all.

No its only 1 panel mind you it doesn't matter 1 or 6 I just stack them anyway but it takes about 4 hours to cut a panel.

Yes the bars are 1/8 plywood x 1/8 wide so there really is no strength Paul and then I have to deal with a lot of voids in the plywood as well.
-
Were cutting it this evening it broke right at the rings so there was no fixing it.
-
Painstakingly and much breakage, sweat, tears, cusses well you get the picture its done except for a missing panel in the rear, that i broke a few minutes ago while assembling this unit its like you get one side in and the other pops out and you just cant force 1/8" plywood especially when you cut 75% of the strength out of it So there you have it enjoy.
