Thank you Brian , as you say a visit to the charity shops would be my best choice. The wife has started to hide bits of furniture as l have seconded 3 chopping boards and 1 bread bin.
Regards Peter
I also have got my first scroll saw at 77yrs young I hope I'm not to old to fulfill this new hobby. At the moment l am finding it difficult in finding suitable wood it's worth mentioning that l am from the old school feet and inches .l look forward to pickup any tips and advice from members...
