Hi, have just had the worst introduction that anyone can wish for.:eek:

Allow me to introduce myself.

I was born ( 1968 ) in South Africa and became a Proud Citizen (by Choice) of the USA on June 14 2008.

I have a beautiful wife with two girls ages nine and three and a third one is due beginning of March 2009.
I am an entrepreneur and I love create things with simplicity yet beautiful.
My work is always perfect but my workshop is most of the time a mess.
I think I can definitely say that I create beauty out of chaos

I have been doing laser work for three years now and doing most of my work in Atlanta but also sell on the Internet.
The laser is mostly used for very custom oriented work.
I hope people would accept my apologies for a bad start but I am pretty sure it can only get better from here.:biggrin:


Kind Regards

Constant Laubscher

Hello Constant,

I'm glad you introduced yourself. Hopefully, you become an active member and we can switch this from a bad start to a good partnership (I think there is alot that we could learn from you as well as alot you could learn here too.)

Constant, one thing to remember about the pen sites (two of them more than others) is that people like to see credit going to where it's deserved. So, sometimes we jump up and try to defend one of our own, whether we know if it's needed or not. Sometimes we're a 'shoot first ask questions later' kind of bunch, with the best intentions. I'm sure as you grow to be one of the group, you'll be afforded the same more-heart-than-brains call to arms.

Welcome, I don't know how everything shook out with the other thread, but I hope it came to a good resolution.

Welcome Constant. I had to go find the other threads to see what all the fuss was about. I started reading it but it just gave me a headache. I'm glad you stayed and I really believe you will be glad also once you get to know the people here.

Constant; I too am glad you didn't leave the group, There are a few that jump up in arms and show their short comings, but for the most part, this is one of the finest groups on the internet. Glad every thing got settled, I like your copper work, it's beautiful.

Welcome to the group: I was impressed by the work displayed on your website and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work posted on the forum.

I am also embarrassed by the bullies and other insecure people on this website who went on the attack, and glad to see you are the bigger person.

Welcome Constant . In defense of the wolf pack that welcomed you earlier , in allot of ways this group is like a large (sometime dysfunctional) family and as such we tend to be defensive of each other and will not hesitate to come to the aid of any member who we might think is being hurt in some way .
The people here are some of the kindest people I have ever had the honor to know and have shown this caring on many occasions . Anytime someone is in trouble the people here have come to their aid with whatever support that was needed to help them out .
I'm sure you will find these things out about us after you've been here awhile .

Welcome Conatant,
I was a bit of a lout in my response to your initial post and for that I would like to apologize. I was being over-zealous and hasty in trying to defend intellectual rights that no one ask me to defend to begin with. I'm pleased that you have joined this forum and I'll commit to a little more restraints in the future.
