Just received notice that I was accepted into this community. By way of introduction, I am a retired biology college professor (three years ago) and during the past couple of years, I've "entered" the woodshop and began learning some woodworking skills. Most of the projects I've made in the past couple of years have been children's toys and puzzles. I'm enjoying the creativity of woodworking as well as the challenge to learn new things. The woodshop that I work in is a community one and open to others in this retirement community where I live (Harrisonburg, Virginia, USA), however there are about three of us who are consistently there day in and day out. I'm grateful that recently the woodshop purchased a new DeWalt Scroll saw which revigored my enthusiasm in scroll saw work. I'm learning how to do quality scrolling, but currently still work with fairly simple patterns.
