new to the forum and to building

I'm new here and just wanted to say hi and throw up some pics of the first batch. Looks like there are some builders here with alot of talent. Hope to learn alot, and I'm sure I will. I wish i learned about this site before plugfest, looks like it was a good time. Thanks for having me aboard!

Thnaks everyone. I have a tone of blanks that need to be sealed, etc. and a few more painted ones that need to be etexed. I've been experimenting with different woods recently and have been slacking on finising my plugs. Planned on drilling weight holes tonight but ended up running into my uncle who brought me some birch he cut down on his farm in maine, so I had to turn some needles It was my first time turning birch - tough to turn but I like it so far. Lets hope they swim the way I think they will!

I wish my firsts looked that good. Nice job and welcome. I think I may have seen that slim blue one before and it is a beauty. Actually I believe we live in the same town if your the person I think you are.
