Dear Patriot Woodworker's. It is with our sincerest pleasure to announce a couple new movements within our woodworking community.

First off, Greg Aksdal is moving out of the Scroll Forum Host position into a Site Host position to assist our other Site Host Charles Nicholls. Greg has spent the last year hanging out in the Scroll Forum and making a difference with folks over there. Greg kicked our forum off and he has brought it up to what it is today. As Greg knows this is a thankless job being a forum host. He did it out of love for woodworking and our troops. On behalf of all our members, Greg we would like to thank you for a job well done sir and a tip-o-the-hat to you. Greg's valuable knowledge and his own experiences in the art of scrolling, and marketing and selling his wares has helped others to explore the same. Greg's service in our Scroll Saw Forum will always be remembered as dedicated and helpful to others. Thanks again Greg!!!! Oh yes, and congratulations Greg in your new duties as Site Host along with Charles! Greg will now be lurking in around the site and helping folks as they need it, correcting up on posts, and helping our guests out and also getting rid of the occasional spammer and helping our members get around our site and using our controls and photo posting tools. Greg and Charles will now be the two gents you all can call on if you have any general site questions or inquiries.

Thanks again Greg!

 

 

Now we have one of our members Fred Wilson stepping into the position of Scroll Saw Forum Host.

Congratulations Fred!!!!! I had to run Fred down and convince him this would be a great move for his career in the world of scrolling and he'd thank us forever for this grand opportunity, even though Fred saw right through my smoke he still stepped up to the plate and accepted his new responsibilities here on The Patriot Woodworker.

Fred has been a valuable asset to our site as a whole, just ask Greg Aksdal, two of the most knowledgeable scrollers we have and both with mutual respect.

Fred has his own shop called Pop's Shop Woodworking. He is very active in his art, attending shows in his area and also marketing and selling his wares. Fred will be the new "Go To" guy on our site for any of your scrolling inquiries and when ever you just want to pull up a chair and talk curves and details. We are honored and grateful that Fred accepted our invitation.

So there you have it folks! Two dedicated scroller's on our site making a difference in their own way on behalf of our site, and our troops. We thank you both for your dedication and TPW spirit you have displayed over the last year and we are just thrilled that Fred is now where he is, and that Greg has stuck around as a Site Host.

So there we go Patriot Woodworker's! Please visit our page dedicated to our Forum Hosts, where you can learn a little bit about the folks that help our site tick tock day in and day out, we now have Mr. Wilson installed on our "Meet Our Hosts" page so be sure to stop on by and read about our newest team member Fred Wilson.

 

Thank you for your time and thank you for being Patriot Woodworker's!
