I am 61 years young. I'm a mother of 3 adult children and now grandchildren. I have just recently fallen in love with WOOD. I have done heaps of work with my scroll saw including animal portraits from photos. intarsia, 3D jigsaw puzzles for adults and kids,toy trucks and cars, and now out of necessity, I am building benches, and cabnets for my new workshop, and inside my house. I am loving it. I was a naval officer in a previous life and a dairy farm manager, then I became a chef and resaruant manager until a back injury forced me into painful retirement. Oh .. I also am a website developer and don't charge an arm and a leg for building them. LOL.
