My name is Gary and live in Columbus,Ks.Been in the printing industry for 21 years and a machinist for a few years before that.Married,have 3 daughters,and will be a grandpa for the first time in May.I have just started scroll sawing with a Task Force saw that was givin to me.It was still new in the box.Not as nice a saw as most but I figured for the price it was right ;D Found this site while looking for an easy first pattern to scroll.Hope to learn alot from y'all.

Thanks for the welcomes people.I've looked thru alot of Steve's plans already and got a headache trying to decide what to do first :D I come from a long line of deer hunters and fisherman so of course all those piqued my interests.Just need to start simple so I don't overwhelm myself.
