Hi,
I'm Bill, I was away from woodworking and hobbies for a period of time. Life has a funny way of directing and changing our paths.
This past holiday season my wife found a used oldie on FB Marketplace. For $75 on the stand. I couldn't pass it up. I'm not sure if it was used much at all.
Before I had an old craftsman pinned blade version and I used it for cutting parts for RC airplanes. Between my eyes and other things, I can't fly RC's or parachutes anymore.
I decided to give this a go. I'm hooked. I'm going to have to get a better saw though. Feeding these pinless blades through a hole and keeping them from bending is a challenge without an articulating arm.
I enclosed the porch and use a buddy heater to have a place to work. We live tiny and so I don't have a work area. It's comfortable though and I enjoy it for hours at a time. Some nights it's just too cold, but all in all it's enjoyable.
I am really enjoying basic stuff, but can see wanting to really learn Intarsia and portrait type stuff.

PS, HUGE Thank you to Travis for creating a dark theme so that I can see and participate. It's nice that there are still kind people left in this world.
Pretty neat to see you on here. I watch your YT videos. Guess scrolling is a small world in the woodworking arena?
