Title: Hello from Iowa
Post by: bherrold on February 11, 2018, 03:42:15 pm

Hello. My name is Bob and I'm from Iowa. I've been scrolling for about 10 years with a Craftsman saw and upgraded to a Delta a couple weeks ago. Wish I had done that years ago

High Bob,

I spent the last 60 years in Iowa (LeMars - Ice Cream Capital of the World).  Retired last fall and decided to move south - to Lincoln, Nebraska.  It's still cold and snowy here, but love Lincoln.

I've been doing woodworking for most of my life too, but recently ran across scroll sawing and just love it.  When I was working at my day job it was a way to forget about the problems of the office for a few hours.  Now that I'm retired it's been a real joy to make items.  I'm looking at opening a store on Esty.com and will be hitting some craft fairs soon to see if I can make a few bucks - before my wifes finds me a job!!

Where abouts in Iowa you at?

Larry
