Good Evening Folks

Hope it's OK I post non-scroll saw stuff here. If you have read my introduction post, you will know that I hold a amateur radio license, well tonight the International Space Station made a pass over my house. It was a beautiful site seeing it in the sky. You may not know this, but the folks aboard the ISS, have a ham radio on board, and they communicate with us hams. I was not able to make contact with them myself, but I was able listen to fellow hams make contact with them. It's sorta a rare occasion, and thought I would share it with ya'll.

Introduce Yourself. / Hello From Central Ohio

« on: August 26, 2010, 05:04:29 pm »

Good Day Folks!

Name here is Steven I was born and raised in SE Wisconsin now living in Central Ohio. I am new to the hobby of scroll sawing, I was browsing around you-tube for model railroad stuff, and stumbled upon a video "introduction to scroll sawing" by Steve Good, and it peeked my interest. My brother back home in Wisconsin, has a really nice woodworking shop, however, while I was living there, I was not that interested. I have not purchased a scroll saw yet, but will be buying one in September. Until than, I will be learning has much has I can, by reading the various forums, watching videos, and reading books. I would like to saw thanks in advance, to all the folks that take time to post, and answer our "newbie" questions. In return, has I learn this hobby, I will do the same.

My other hobbies include, model railroading (currently just building rail themed dioramas), building other model kits, and going trackside to watch and take pictures of real trains, I have a General Class Amateur Radio License. I also spend a fair amount of time on my Shortwave Radio, searching out the distant signals, including WX fax, number stations, clandestine stations and decoding assorted digital signals. I also have several scanners, which I use to monitor local law, fire, and other assorted signals including rail, air, and businesses.
