Anyone in Central Florida like to get together ???
Vince
-
Sure, I live in Mulberry. When where? 8)
-
I am in Summerfield. I am always looking to meet new people in the area.
-
I'm in Boynton Beach. I will be in St Augustine in two weeks, but that is too far. Hopefully I will get a trip over to the west coast this summer. I might be in orlando in july
-
I'm in Wesley Chapel (west Central, Fl.) and could be interested.

I'm in St Pete. I'd also be interested.
-
Please make announcements when found. :-) I need a vacation and want to work it around scrollin' this year. I'm in the Panhandle, and will certainly shout if I hear of anything.
-
To bad no one lives in Orlando. That is central for all of us. 8)
-
Ok I am open for suggestions for a Florida get together. Orlando is central but no members there. So I might be the closest to central. Do you want me to look into a meeting place. Input needed. 8)
-
I would like to meet you guys. I'm way down south, but I would be interested if we could plan it right
-
:'( I can not keep you join me ... I would have done more than 10,000 miles! ... :'(
-
I signed up for a Scroll saw class, just to see if I'd learn something new. I stopped by to see how many their were - only one name - MINE ! The instructer canceled it - NUTS !!!.....Vince
I would have done a free show and tell, I carry enough stuff in my truck to carry that off - LOL
-
Vince; where was the class supposed to be? I have never heard of any in my area. Who was putting it on?
Bill

UF: The class was to be at Wood Craft - in Fern Park ( between Winter Park and Casselberry) Phone # 407-260-5002 - ( http://stores.woodcraft.com/orlando ). They have an area that 40 - 50 people could meet in. They have a Wood working group their, once a month - but not Scroll saw , though the group will take anything as long as sawdust is made LOL They also have a wood carving group that meets their - the same night.
The store is about 1 mile from US 17-92 ( South of it) and SR 436. The staff and owner are GREAT people. The first owner of the store wanted me to open another store for him - BUT I woulld have to move to the land of SNOW. I don't mind watching it snow on TV, but that as close as I want to get. LOL

The stoe on US #19 in Clearwater runs a class from time to time as well. Still a drive from Wesley Chapel, but not as far.
-
Thanks BilltheDiver! I checked there website and they charge $85.00 for their Beginner class plus materials.

Wow thats amazing! At the store I teach at in CA., We charge $65 and I supply the materials except for the blades!
-
I agree! If it was a lot less expensive I would take the class to see if I could pick up something, but that price will buy a lot of wood to cut! I do shop a good bit there though, and appreciate having a woodworking shop nearby instead of just the BORG.
-
How about Wellington NZ, thats not to far
Jimbo
-
I am going to be in Orlando tomorrow. I think I might go by and check out the Wood Craft store in Fern Park. 8)
-
Russ: I wish I had read this sooner, I would have set us up for coffee and chow at least. I live in Winter Park/Orlando about a 3 min drive from Wood Craft.

I gave the scroll saw classes at the sarasota woodcraft. Keep a eye out for the free demo at the store near you. You can learn a lot. Only draw back this is not hands on. I would answer any question anyone asked. My demos would last three hours.
:)
-
Hey everbody: If we can figure a place here that is central for most people, to Florida, I'll be there. Have coffee pot - will travel !!! I can make saw dust at a moments notice. I am retired and try not to have a busy life ( As in, things I didn't want to do any way LOL)
Vince
Winter Park, Florida
(Just north of Disney)
-
Russ: I am about to hand carry these remarks to the local Woodcraft Store, to see if they can come up with a plannd event. Should they show interest I'll let ya know. Perhaps if they knew how many Scrollers are in the area, they would take notice. " ? "
If your a Scroller in Florida, speak up and be noticed - perhaps we can get something worked up.
Should another store want to develop something, I will drive to where ever.
