G'day Everyone
« on: March 16, 2012, 10:48:36 am »
As you can see I go by the name of 'Erewhon' but my given name is Kevin - "Kevy' - and why on earth I think I can do what many of you here do I dunno. I live in Central Queensland Australia on a bush covered 30 Acre Property that the wife and I share with our native wildlife. I'm about to turn 61 Years and have the itch to do something else rather than cut grass, fight the odd bush fire and worry if our dam 30 meters away from the house is going to overflow again and attempt to wash us away. Already I've down loaded Steve's key chain program, after watching his you tube video I think I've already had my first failure cause I cant print the type of pattern he used in his clip. Anyways, I don't even own a scroll saw as yet and I'm also in need of some basic wood working tools so I've got time to work it out. For the mean time I'll read as much as I can here and some where down the track I'll eventually get started. I trust I'll get to know many of you in time and you can help me when ever I'm stuck on something. Pleasure to meet You All ..... Regards Kevy.

Hello Kevy glad you joined. I'm Sheila from Texas.. Young man you can do as well as we do. All you have to do is try.. Once you start your first piece you will be hooked for sure. We all had to start somewhere and for me I had to go it alone when I started. So, you might say I'm self taught.. I recommend you get a saw, the best you can afford and start making saw dust fly.. Again glad you joined us... Sheila

G'day Sheila - Todd and Dan, I've been busy reading posts all over the place and its now 1-30am Saturday morning. Thanks for the welcome and when the minister of war and finance gets to have a look at all these wonderful projects things just might swing in my way. Again thanks for the welcome - Hooroo.

G'Day Kevy
            Welcome here, I am Ian from Wales UK. You have come to the best place to learn, hope management soon provides funds for a Saw. If you are near Hervy Bay, say hi to my sister for me. Iggy.

Hey Kevy.  I'm Julie from Texas.  Glad you found us.  Most of us are self taught.  I wish this site had been available back when I started.  You will amaze yourself at what you can create.  Can't wait to see your first project.  Have fun.
