Hello Y'all, I wanted to take the the time to introduce myself to everyone and express my gratitude to Steve and whoever else responsible for such a wonderful site and blog.
My name is Chris reside in the Dallas, Texas area. I am widowed, semi retired, single father of a 10 year old daughter. I recently pulled out my old Ryobi scroll saw and jumped online to research for some parts I needed for it. I was missing the upper clamp. I am also repainting the interior of the entire house this month and needed the saw to cut something small. Long story short.... :)I was fortunate to have ran across this site, and was soon watching many of Steve's video's and downloading his pattern for light switch covers. In just a short week or so I've managed to create new light switch plates for each room, even created new patterns in Gimp for double and triple plates I needed. My daughter is a cat lover and asked if she could have a cat light switch, so I couldn't refuse. ;D Just last night finished house numbers for front of the house, from Steve?s patterns. I plan to try my hand at some more difficult patterns very soon.
I believe I've found a new hobby to keep us busy. When the budget allows it, I' m already wanting to upgrade saws.
I again want to express my gratitude to Steve, I know first hand how much time is needed to keep such a professional site going. Your efforts have not only assisted me to date but I suspect well into the future.
Thanks Again,
