Title: Wanted to introduce myself
Post by: Rusticcreations on May 10, 2016, 09:36:40 PM
Just thought I'd take a minute to introduce myself, say hi, and tell a little about myself,  My name is Wayne, I live in Maine, I have been self employed for about a year now building log Furniture, I own a small manual sawmill that I bought to aid in the log Furniture construction.

I'm 28 years old and have been self employed since 24 I owned my own roofing and siding company for 4 years until I decided to strictly do the Furniture thing.

Anyways just wanted to say hi and I hope to potentially be able to help others as I am sure I will be asking plenty of questions myself.

I have an odd side of me that wants to learn every little aspect of whatever it is that I am doing lol.

Thanks.
Wayne

I posted a pic on a post in the sawmill section of the site that shows my mill, some poplar I milled out and also a log bed I literally just finished today.

Doesn't matter what kind of mill you have...all that matters is your use it...enjoy it...learn from it...create with it.
