I am 65 and enjoying full retirement.

I check in daily to see what is new and if I can help someone. There are numerous others who can do the show and tell routines.
I'm also retired ship but we still enjoy making up jigs and I'm like many others I do not do it for to make money. I do it for the enjoyment and to keep me busy like skip I have just got carried away with it. I call it a big hobby but you're never too old to keep tying them up. Even if you did your business as part time it would definitely keep you occupied and deftly keep you out of mischief I started this beautiful hobby when I was very young around 15 years old in be and 63 knowing that I will never quit enjoying myself I think this tying jigs is been part of my life and I'm not about to let it go. It's something I truly enjoy doing and course I enjoy the site tremendously it think it is like God give me a gift to enjoy, communicating with other people that do the same as I do, and what better place than here. So to each and every one you guys out there that do tie in that I've had the chance to see some a your work on the swaps. I hope that you'll always be here and never let your hobby die. I've met many interesting people on the site and every one of you are different in the way you tie up your jigs. There are never two people the same is I've watched many of you progressed over the year or going on over two years. I say hooray for you I seen many of you really have improved in your skills are coming along fine in for the beginners don't ever get discourage keep on fighting. It will all fall into place you come out with better looking jigs than never.
