I'm MickM from Gainesville and soon to be moving to Homosassa Springs, Fl. I've been a woodworker for quite a few years but medical problems have forced me to give up the shop. I can't lift plywood anymore! Not too good at standing up either, I've been trying woodcarving and have found a great carving club in Gainesville. Carving let's me sit while I work and still be a tool slut (buying more tools then I really need.)
I had tried a garage sale $40 Ryobi scrollsaw that I never could get to run right (finally tossed it in dumpster) I've been thinking about a scrollsaw for long time and today I bought a used Hawk 220 Ultra with about 300 spare blades and now I've joined the forum. I thnk it's more saw then I need but it's so well designed and built I had to have it!
