Hello from Fort Mill, SC

[Carl Fisher]

Just stopping in to say hi and introduce myself.

After the wood working show in Charlotte a few months ago, both of my boys Ryan (9) and Justin (7) loved turning pens in the Craft Supplies USA booth. We had to go back to the show a 2nd day just so they could get lathe time that they missed out on the first day.

I've already been putting together a respectable shared workspace in the garage. Between my stationary tools, bicycles and the wife's car, the new addition will be a Jet 1014 that I'm picking up this Thursday and planning to give them for their birthday with all the fixin's for turning pens.

So this is my official howdy to all.

Welcome! You'll find lots of good information both from members and in the library. Make sure you post pictures of what you and your boys are doing. The notorious line around here is "No picture... Did not happen!".

Glad to have you join the fun!

Thanks for the warm welcome all and thanks for the info Tom. Can't make it this week on short notice, but perhaps next month.

Just wanted to share a shot of each of the kids doing their first pens from the wood show.
