@Fred Wilson has been our Scroll Saw Forum host for several years now, and he has done a bang up job in keeping folks happy, and helping out as many as he can.

 

Fred's life has gotten pretty busy this last year and he is finding it hard to get over here as often as he'd like, so Fred is going to relinquish the reins to a new host (yet to be determined), and he is and has been focusing on family and life in general.

Fred wants to be a regular ol member now, he'll still come aboard and chime in and hassle y'all, but just know that you can no longer beat up on Fred, since he is now officially off The Patriot Woodworker payroll and not bringing home his usual six figure salary from us, yet he is now a regular ol woodworker like the rest of us, just enjoying the view around here, and participating at leisure.

 

Fred, thank you sir, for your service to our forum, and your un-ending patience with those of us who needed the help, and it was a pleasure shared by many I am sure, to know you, and to work with you.

 

Thank you Fred, for your service to our community!

 

If you'd all like to stay connected with Fred, you can also find him at his own website http://www.gopopsshop.com/index.php

 

 

 

Hey folks, you can still purchase these exclusive Patriot Woodworker plaques from Fred! Fred made a batch of these back in the day and he gifted them to our sponsors as a thank you for their support. To order one please see at Patriot Woodworker Plaque

 

 

 

 

 

Fred deserves some time off. Enjoy, fred. Stop by and say hi, often. 

Thanks Fred for your generosity and time as TPW Scroll-saw Forum Host. You have certainly kept that forum rolling and assisted many in the fine art of scrolling.

 

Enjoy the "retirement" but not so much we don't see you at the annual company picnic.

 

No doubt, you received a great retirement package including use of the Hawaiian condo, the yacht and free flights on the company jet.

 

Don't be a stranger. That would make me the only strange one here then.

Fred, thanks for your hard work here at TPW.  Are you and Judy going to survive without the TPW six figure salary? 

Thanks Fred,

Please do keep coming back!

I'm sure your wit, humor, and wisdom will be missed.

Dave, I agree with the first part of your above comment, but don't be to sure about the last part!  

Sorry to see you go, Fred. I'm not a scroll sawer but I always enjoyed the stuff you posted and I will miss that.

 

On the other hand, I guess the boss will be dividing up your large salary among the rest of us 

 

Sorry to see you go, Fred....

I'm not a scroll sawyer either but I have always enjoyed your work and knowledge that you have posted and I will miss that.

Enjoy your extra time.  I know you will still be around and that is a good thing.

 Thanks for all that you have done Fred.

Thank you, for all your contributions! Now you can speak your mind, and not worry about the company line! LOL.

Thanks Fred for all your help and wisdom. Enjoy!!!

And remember Fred, Santa is watching!

Thanks Fred for being the forum host!!

Good luck on your retirement from here.

Come back when you can.

 

 

What's a retirement without a cake???

I didn't know Fred but I gather he is a great guy. I have been looking at his website and it is very nice and well thought out. I bet that keeps him busy.

Thanks for everything Fred. Don't know how you can afford to give up that extra 6 figure income. Now you can sit back and just enjoy the forums,like the rest of us.

Thanks for your contributions to the site Fred, please continue in your new capacity as a "regular".

Thanks Fred. Enjoy your time off.

Thank you Fred. Enjoy the free time.

 

Hey, guys, I really appreciate the kind comments.  We could not have this great forum without the help and support of our great administrators.  As far as me retiring from my position as forum host with that 6 figure income, it has been my honor to serve.  Oh, yeh, the 6 figure income?  Can you rap your head around $000,000 ? ! ? ! ?  

 

Keep the sawdust flying.  I'm not gone, just stepping back and being a "member".

Better not be, if you did, we'd hunt ya down, and tie ya up, and tickle ya to death!

I think that matches the amount left in our savings account. 

I'm sure you won't miss the flights on the corporate jet, pedal powering it is a major workout!
