I was having an email conversation with Ginger Scally when she mentioned a saying her dad always said. Her father passed away a couple years ago but his skills as a master carpenter were passed along to the three children. Ginger says she and her little sister can hold their own in the shop and their brother worked the trade for years with his dad. Ginger said "How many women do you know with a carpentry bench, scroll saw and drill press in her bedroom? ;-)". I think she might be surprised by the answer to that question. Many of the finest scroll saw artists I know are women. I've seen scroll saws in the living room, bed room and kitchen. :) What's a little saw dust going to hurt?
When she mentioned the saying her dad use to say I thought it would make a fun scroll saw pattern. I probably did not do justice to the memory of Charles but if he is reading this from above I hope he has a smile on his face. Thanks Ginger for the quote and nice family story.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
