Title: Hello Form Manitoba Canada
Post by: MrA on October 18, 2014, 01:40:54 pm

Hi, I am Tom, I have been lurking on the forum for about a year and decided it was time to introduce myself. I have had a saw since Christmas 2012, a gift from one of my sons. Since then I have discovered that this could be an expensive hobby. I work part time so spent some money and upgrade twice, now I have an Excalibur and a dewalt 788. Now I found you can't have a good saw without a press drill, rough lumber is cheaper so I got a used planer. Too much dust in the basement so I remodeled and insolated my big garden shed into a workshop. I spend at least 2 hours every evening at my saw and now waiting for the Christmas craft shows to start in our area.

Welcome fellow Canuck

I am from Brooklin Ontario just east of Toronto.

Good thing you got a scroll saw instead of a lathe as that is a real money pit.  I do both but like to scroll more.
