We would like to welcome GrandpaJoe to our staff. Joe specializes in detail work, and is very skilled with his Hagner Scroll Saw. He cuts our Custom Display Case Toppers by hand, and has other unique quality items available on our website. From GrandpaJoe- I am is 66yrs of age and have been retired from G.M. for 7 yrs. after putting in 36 1/2 yrs. on the job. Married to the same girl for 43 yrs. Two grown kids and three Grandkids. I started to scroll saw 71/2 yrs ago for relaxation after I got off from work, as I am a night owl. My first really good project was the little league ball player. I developed the pattern from a picture in the newspaper. My first sales were for 12 ball players at Christmas time from my co-workers. I have made the pattern better over the last few years. I go to the little league games with the grandkids and show them to the parents and the grandparents at the games and do pretty good with the sales. I have over a 100 patterns, and my hobby now is to work with the patterns to improve on them to make them different. This takes a lot of patience and some imagination. I have made pictures by taking pieces and parts of different patterns put them together to make a new pattern picture. I also like to play golf and sing in the choir, and of course work on the house which is a old school house built in 1928. These activities keep the old man young. My youngest grandson is a freshman golfer, we spend good times together playing and watching him at the school matches. My grandaughter is 8 yrs. and she is starting to swing the clubs also. I am looking forward to working with GrandpaJon and Steve and getting involved in the business at hand, should be interesting. Thanks, Grandpajoe
