Hello everyone,
To start this post off I must say that working with wood has been a long time hobby of mine and I wish that I had kept a portfolio of all the stuff that I have made over the years including the things that turned into firewood.
I just lost my job today so I am a little upset. It really could be a blessing in disguise. I have been wanting to launch a small wood craft business and work has always been something of an interference, not any more. I can make patterns, convert files to DXF and a few other odds and ends that I won't get into at the moment. I really take pride in the work that I do, because I know that people work hard for their money, so I keep that in mind each and every time I produce a product or design for someone.
I also enjoy helping people...I learned through some good friends that if you help those in need and have a kind and glad heart in doing so, you are repaid ten fold.
Just as it says on the subject line, I'm just the new guy. My brain is always thinking of new ideas but sometimes I don't always spell out in detail what I am looking for.
We have but one life to live and the best way to life it is making new friends, sharing our dreams and our ideas and making this world a better place to live. I hope that I have not taken up too much of your time. I wrote a three hour speech but decided to write from the heart. Cheers!

Well Tracy, I feel for you, I lost my job five months ago. I too am trying to make a business in woodworking but it is slow going. Hopefully things will get better for both of us.
welcome to the forum!

Welcome Tracy! You are among friends here! Sorry to hear about the job loss. It's getting harder and harder for everyone who "works" for a living. I haven't lost my job, but my wife's hours have been cut back to less than 10 a week, so we're struggling! ::)
Glad to have you here!

Welcome Tracy and let's hope that when one door closes another opens. Usually seems to work out that way even if it does entail some trials and tribulations. Glad to have you here!
