Indiana PA!?!

Well now, I'll bet that gets a little confusing!
"Where you from?"
"Indiana"
"Anywhere near Indianapolis?"
"Nope, just east of Philadelphia."
"Oh, Philadelphia Indiana!"
"Nope, Philadelphia PA"
"Thought you said you were from Indiana?"
"I am!"
blah blah blah...Who's on first?!

If you were in Michigan, you could go to Hell (currently frozen over now, I'm sure.)

Yes there are a lot of strange names for towns in Pennsylvania just look at my town,
Punxsutawney (try learning to spell that when you’re a kid!)

My kids grew up in South Park, and yes it was a lot like the Colorado town that has it's own TV show today. Just outside Pittsburgh and a part of Library, PA. Go Steelers!

Denny, you say learning to spell Punxsutawney when you're a kid, how about trying to figure out how to say it as an adult.......lol

Well I think it may be possible to get my CW back in running condition now that warm weather is upon us and if anyone gets involved in the Little League Baseball World Series later in the year I am located in Muncy about 20 minutes SE of Williamsport (the home of LLB) you are welcome to stop by for a visit!
Of course I am always welcome to other meetings (your place or mine) at other times of the year but I am not always available due to work schedules.
Send me an email @ johcar8471@windstream.net or call me first @ 546-3935 so I have time to clean up the shop so we can walk in.

I do have a couple of G's products in my shop but only go there when it is necessary, spent too much there already!

located in Maryland just south of Gettysburg, PA. I just volunteered to start a Maryland group, but if no one joins I would be interested in keeping up with a group in PA. I grew up in Sandy Lake, PA so it is still home to me.

I'm just outside of Philly, in Fort Washington. I just got my Carvewright (actually a reconditioned Compucarve) a couple of weeks ago. A bit frustrated right now, due to some issues I am having. I've only got about 24 hours of carve time on it, and about the same amount of time trying to troubleshoot issues. Anyone who has one of them, and is in the area, I would love to come, or have you come and show me how you run it. I am open to the possibility (probability) that I am screwing something up. I am not ready to give up on it, because I think it still has a lot of potential. But, I just don't know what I might be doing wrong.

I did get everything resolved. I have posted some pics of some of the stuff I have been able to build. Most of my issues were user error type issues, though there were a couple of machine issues which were covered under warranty, and we are good to go. I'd love to show you my machine if you wanted to take a look, but unfortunately I am preparing to move to southern AZ. So I will no longer be in the area after next week.

Good luck with your move! Just ordered the machine over last weekend

Since the first meeting of the Maryland users group is going to take place in Pennsylvania I am cross posting the announcement to the PA users group thread.

================================================== =

The inaugural meeting of the Maryland users group (which we may have to call the Maryland/Southern Pennsylvania user group as we will have several members from PA) will take place at Tyler Newberry's cabinet making shop at 410 Abbottstown pike, Abbottstown, pa 17301 On Sunday Feb 16th at 2:00PM. Tyler generously volunteered his heated shop for the meeting, heated being the key draw with the weather we have been having lately. If you are interested in attending PM me or just reply.

I met several CW users at the woodworking show in Baltimore and we should have a pretty good group. Several had pictures of their work and there was some nice pieces. If you are within driving distance of Abbottstown you are hereby invited.


Tyler's website is newberrymillwork.com (http://newberrymillwork.com) if you want to check it out.

cross posting to the PA thread...http://forum.carvewright.com/showthread.php?18729-US-Maryland

We had the first meeting of the Mason-Dixon Chapter of the Carvewright users group in Abbottstown PA. We will be meeting monthly with the next meeting on March 9th. See my post in the MD thread for more description and pictures. If you are close enough to Abbottstown please join us for the next meeting.
