Who Left The Back Door Unlocked?

Postby Gill » 18 Sep 2015, 10:28

It's fantastic to see this forum resurrected - well done Mark and the rest of the team :eusa-clap: . I've only just found you folks.

I've been off the scene for a few years due to, well, a lack of enthusiasm for woodwork. Since then I've donated most of my workshop to Age UK (the Bromsgrove branch can now do fab carpentry for its elderly population) and a few months ago I moved house to the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds.

It's lovely here but there's no space in my little bungalow for a proper workshop. Nevertheless, my family (which is now local :) ) is keen for me to start mangling wood again and my brother has shown a distinct glimmer of interest, so it's possible that the two Hegner scroll saws I've retained might yet see action again. In the meantime, I hope you don't mind me lurking and chipping in ('scuse the pun :eusa-doh:) occasionally.

Great to have you back Gill. Even having given away your workshop you're still more active than me…! ;)

Hello again Gill and a warm welcome.

To use those Hegners you do not need a workshop just a good dust extractor. :D

Looking forward to seeing some of you excellent scrolling soon.
I do not think therefore I do not am.
