Welcome Aboard CP. Are you going to be showing us pens?

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Thanks guys, wasn’t expecting such a warm welcome. Very happy to have found your forum and look forward to being active. I am more of a tool collector, than actual woodworker, I’ve been at it for 30+ years, adding equipment to my shop hoping to have enough to do some serious wood work when I retire in 2 years. I think I have everything I need – guess it’s time to start some serious projects – which brings me to your forum for some sound advice.

Mark – Yes, I am a die-hard Saints fan. Until last year, I was embarrased to tell anyone that :-))

Bill – No pens, but I do have plenty of them. Don’t like to push them on friends.

Thanks again guys for making me feel welcome.

I’ve liked the Saints for several years because of the sacks the fans use to wear on their heads. Almost had to feel sorry players. But what a comeback.

Another Louisiana Woodworker! Welcome.

Thanks ldashley – are you near Metairie? This seems to be a great forum – learning more each time I visit.

Welcome to L.J.

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

I’m up in Monore. My dad grew up in Metairie though. I used to visit quite often.

Well if you are ever in the area give me a shout and we can talk “sawdust making”. I’m really enjoying this forum. I belong to and visit a few others, but I think this one is the best of all of them.

cool. I agree this is an awesome site.

Bill, we are neighbors for sure! I live off Transcontinental, but out by the lake. Also a 20+ year Saints season ticket holder!

Thanks for the kind words on the signs, but to be perfectly honest the biggest change in my carving and lettering came after I got a felt honing wheel and arbor for my drill, I just clamp it to the side of my table.

I’m going to be doing the holiday shop (santa’s work shop) for a few of the local schools in my area ! I’m looking for ideas for fast , easy projects with little cost to make , so I can donate them for the under privileged childeren to give to their parents for the holidays (x-mas & such) . Childern of all walks of life also find joy in giving to their parents and other family members on the holidays , It gives them a sense of pride,and happyness!

thanks for the ‘welcome aboard’ . been lurking fo a while finally decided to actually be a part of the group.

Hey, thanks for stopping by my site as well. What a great place this is! Enjoy the turning – I’ll get to that one day, but am putting it off. It seems like turning is about the slipperiest slope there is! :)

Hi Bill,
I was just looking at a carving by Jiri.

Yes I’m still carving, but I jump from one thing to another, I’ve got to many things going on.

And by the way, WELCOME to L J’s. LOL

I thought I’d greeted you, but I guess I missed you.

thanks for your comments c pour moi un plaisirs de faire parti de cette communautés du bois

-- jeanmarc manosque france

Thanks for the welcome. : )

Thanks for the welcome. I’m a member of many online communities and this is the first time I’ve had so many different people actually welcome a new member. I’ve only recently discovered the site and I’ve already found it very useful for a novice woodworker. This site seems like a fantastic community and I can’t wait to join in with questions, projects and someday insight.

Thanks,

Pat

Many thanks for the welcome to LJs.

Bill, Absolutley amazing… I have been collecting fountain pens since age 8 when I got a couple of the old Schaeffer clear cartridge filled fountain pens with steel nibs from my great grand mother… They were so unique and smooth writing that I refused to use ball points from then on out. Living in an area with a wealth of antique stores, flea markets, and estate sales, I built up quite a collection over the years, including original duo-folds and other hard rubber pens, Schaeffer lifetime sets, Schaeffer skylines, as well as a filigree sterling silver pen/pencil set from Waterman US which I found in the back of a drawer in an old desk that was purchased at an estate sale for $20.00… Bladder filled, cartridge filled, or plunger filled, I love them all…. As I got older I lusted for newer fine writing instruments and subsequently purchased a couple through you a few years back. What an odd place to run in to you again…. :-) Keep making sawdust and keep the ink flowing… fountain pens are amazing little machines… I doubt I will ever tire of them.

Thanks Douglas, and all that commented. 2 years goes by so fast – and I think I am finally ready to put in my Retirement Papers, and get on to woodworking – yeah!!!!
