Finding the Introductions Forum

[wlburton]

Hello Garage Journal community--

I'm embarrassed at how long it took me to find the Introductions forum. Am I the only one who has found that tricky? There was nothing "intuitive" on the home page directing me to it, but I clicked on things randomly until "Post New Thread" finally showed up. I guess I'm even worse at using computers than I thought I was!

Well, I seem to have finally found it and I think I've figured out how to post a thread so I'll be ready next time I've got something to post or a question to ask.

Perfect intro, because once you find your way here it's hard to leave as well. Welcome!

Thanks for the welcomes! I'm a mostly retired owner of a musical instrument repair shop (now out of the music store and into my basement) with a basement (and small garage) full of instrument repair, machining, carpentry and gardening tools. I have a few mechanics tools, but I hate working on cars. I play saxophone, clarinet, and flute in three big bands (think Glenn Miller or Benny Goodman-type bands), and three community concert bands. I'm pursuing learning about machining as a hobby and am an active Craig's List devotee (buying, not selling!). I'm a member of the Hobby-Machinist forum and have found myself directed to this group by Google enough times--mostly about older tools and vises--that I figured it was time to join.
