I could not resist....

AL "who" here.... Got the nickname when I called LHR one time and said this was AL.... Digitalwoodshop.... She said "AL "who".... So the Urban Myth goes....

I am a self proclaimed compulsive poster.... With over 5000 posts since 2007... I spend time each day here posting advice good and sometimes bad....

A retired Navy Chief and Electronics Tech with 8 years with Sony fixing everything from Fanuc Robots at a Picture Tube Plant to Play Stations at the former Philly Service Center....

Now I run my business making Tourist Stuff, Signs, and Fire Dept Safety Products.

I am on top of the world this week as I just got a $10K Fire Tag order... Topping my last year's 15 Kentucky Fire Dept $5K order...

I use my CW to cut the Tag Stock and Wood Handles for my Fire stuff plus Maltese Clocks.

This is a GREAT PLACE and the machine fits my need very well..... I was going to cut the tags for this big order on my CW, 30 sheets 12 x 24 at 30 min each. But they decided on a 1.5 x 3 tag that I can get pre cut from my supplier.... to save time, It will go the easy route this time and give the CW a rest.... I will cut 8 wood handles for Accountability Boards for the order....

It is going to be a GREAT year....

Hi, I just got my Carvewright last Wednesday, had a problem with a microswitch, which the staff walked me through, got me up and running, and I have been learning by trial and error ever since. Let me just say, I love this machine. I am looking forward to some great times, and fantastic projects... Mike..

At least the CW is out of the box now and sitting on a bench.
Hi I am Gary. I live in Chandler, OK. I arrived here from Kansas by way of 10 years in AZ.
I will be attending the '11 conference and am looking forward to picking a few brains about the pattern creation process. A very important concept for me as nearly all that I do will be unique; and by unique I DO NOT mean using canned patterns. My woodworking skills have all been self taught so I know that I can learn from others that have been doing longer or that have had some practical education. I am curious by nature and an IBM iSeries programmer by choice.

[Clockmaker]

Hi,
My name is Jerry I'm forcefully retired. I like to carve but my hands arn't what they were so I decided to get this, I received my unit in Feb. but haven't been able to use it till the weather started warming up my shop heater died it's cold in Pa. I'm working on my first project, a sign for the Boy Scout camp. I'm stopping the sign to make the dust collector.
Hope to talk latter.
