From the wilds of BC....
« on: March 14, 2013, 09:27:31 PM »
time to check in....

I've been a lurker now and then..but I just joined the other day.  In my working life I got exposed to small machine tools at an early age and I"ve never been able to shake the desease.  Also, I have this strange attraction  for things that are broken.....or gadgets that don't exist.

There's some great skills and ideas here, and it's a very appealing group.... Thanks for letting me in.

Welcome.  You sound like you'll fit in just fine.

Glad to see you jump on in here. I know that spring is coming in the wilds of BC so we are ready for most anything here. If you are inquisitive about how it works or why it dosen't work then you have came to the right place. If you don't already have it you will probably become infected with  :proj: . There is no known cure but we have lots of very sympathetic members here that will help you deal with it.


We look forward to your participation in the various threads. Feel free to share any of your previous projects with us as you have the time.  :D :D


Cheers  :beer:

Science is fun.

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.

Good to hear from another British Columbian ... we are rather thin on-the-ground ... in places.
Let all of us know what you're up to.
