it's my anniversary
« on: February 14, 2013, 02:47:40 pm »
greetings everyone. i thought i would share as well as introduce myself. it's been 32 years since my lovely bride and i were wed. myself and our two older children are the artsy ones, they are brother/sister tattoo artists. my wife is the brains of this outfit, and our younger daughter and son take after her and are off to college. we're also proud of our oldest son who earned a purple heart while in afghanistan, but we are glad he's back home now, tattooing. i got interested in scrolling when a girl at work brought in some amazing pieces she had made. i started snooping around and found this place and the awsome work done by the members here. i found a delta 40-540 still new in the box for $75 on craigslist about a month ago and have been making some fine "designer firewood" ever since. i've learned alot but am looking forward to learning more. i have lots of questions which i'll post elsewhere. (sorry i'm pretty computer illiterate, type with 1 finger and don't do capitalization.)
                                     
                             thanks for having me, fred

Hi Fred, Welcome to the forum, I'm Keith from Cornwall U.K.
I'm ahead of you in one respect, I type with two fingers - I even manage using one finger on each hand lol.  (it doesn't matter how fast or how many fingers you use when typing, as long as we can read the end result thats all that matters.)
It's all a case of "Mind over Matter",  The Government don't Mind, and I don't Matter.

Hi Fred welcome to the forum and happy anniversary.  I'm Marg  and I'm from Australia.  Computer and I do not get on well together so it's a good thing my scroll saw isn't computer operated.   ;)
