Default Hi to all the new folks!! WOW!

It seems every time I sign on the page there are 5 or more new guys signed up with intro posts...I don't know where they are all coming from (possibly the sticky at the top of this section explains some of it?) but to reply to every post is not going to happen. I can't keep up with all the new names and I'll miss someone for sure.

So.....all you new guys showing up.. WELCOME to the most knowledgeable bunch of tin bashers around. Prepare to be blown away by the skills of the guys here. Read as much as you can of the how to posts and check out the videos posted by members here.. It is a little intimidating when they start to talk of Pullmaxes and Yoders and other high dollar stuff, but then someone will post up a how they did it with nothing more than a stump and a couple of hammers and the possibilities open up for us mere people who aren't "tool millionaires".

And if you are already an accomplished shaper, learn how to post pics here and show us your stuff too! Most guys here love to see other guys work and learn new ways to do things.

Again to all , Welcome!

What has surprised me since the change in registration is not only the number of new folk but where they come from, truly international. I find myself checking out the location on google maps for curiosity, got to admit most of the places I have not heard of so I have to find where they are and without the help of a South African member I probably not found the history of my Plymouth PD.

Thanks guys
