I hope you all had a very nice Christmas and peaceful start to the new year. This is an interesting year for me because in a few months time I will be retiring, that is to say that I will be reaching the age of 65.
To be honest, I haven't done what I would call a proper job for several years. I took redundancy from my management role in a factory in 2005 and since then it's been a bit up and down. I've worked for myself doing freelance writing work, had a heart attack and written several books mostly about fishing. I contemplating doing one more book before I pack up altogether but I'm not sure at the moment.
Anyway, you may be pleased to know that I'm going to fire up my scroll saw again during the next couple of weeks, and I will also be getting my pyrography iron out again. The project is a wooden box that my wife has requested to keep some cards in that she received for a xmas present.
I'm working on the design for the lid at the moment and it will probably revolve around some butterflies that will be inlaid into a piece of walnut and then worked on with the pyrography iron.
If you would like to see how I get on look out for my next post.
