    Default G'Day from Colorado

    Hello, I'm Pam in Colorado. I am a newb in all areas of woodworking. My husband has some experience and a whole lot of desire, so when our home sells and we get to move to the city he works in, he will finally get to start setting up shop and having some fun.

    I want to be part of that fun, so I'm looking to gain some knowledge and ideas. I also have a nephew who has an interest in woodworking, so perhaps one day we will be able to work together to create some pieces of art and function.

    I'm a homeschooling Mom, so I'd like to add some projects into our youngest two girls' education. Who knows, maybe the oldest three kids, who have already graduated, will join in the process as well.

    I look forward to getting to know you all along the way.

    Default You make me laugh!

    Thanks for the welcome Artme! I am excited to find a group like this. I'm having fun popping around to see what people are saying and doing. Can't wait for my husband to get home!!! You aren't the first to call me crazy, although it is usually not regarding the homeschool! It's usually my teenaged son - when I don't agree with the plans he wants to get away with!

    Welcome Pam. You'll fit right in.

    I have two (one's 3 a boy and the other's 7 a girl). Can't keep them out of the workshop, unless something noisy starts up. He tends to wander back into the house (much to SWMBO's dismay) covered in sawdust. They have a great time.

    Default gday from colorado

    HI i am from Montrose Colorado where are you at? I own a SHOPSMITH and am currently working on bowls and copper roses out of copper sheets. I have a ring master for the Shopsmith so i make the bowl a bit different them most but i am going to do some real turning after Christmas after i get the bowls done for presents. Also welcome to the forum so far this bunch has been real helpful i only signed up a few days ago but the response has been great. I was going to say fenominal but the spell check does not have that word or i misspelled it real bad and the computer cant make out what it was trying ti spell. Have a good day and a better tomorrow.

    You are all so welcoming AND funny. My kind of folk.

    Ralphtaff - I'd love to hear more about what you do and see your work one day. Never been to Montrose, never had a reason, now I do!

    I'm not sure since no one has requested me. I just followed a link that said I could request when I went to your profile. Not sure how the other end works.

    Anyone have a step through to accepting a friend request???

    G'Day Pam,

    This forum covers just about everything and boy are the members opinionated. excluding me, who is a fount of knowledge and wisdom and what's more I'm modest. . Thought I'd better run up your flag to welcome you since so many Americans seem to be joining.
