    New member. Looks like an interesting group.

    Retired (OK, SS Disability), I've always enjoyed working with my hands. I draw and paint and do a little model building. Fiddling with a little gunstock carving at the moment and am interested in trying some home gunsmithing (what my brother liked to refer to as "Afghan Gunsmithing") and maybe building some black powder guns.
    I'm interested in trying knifemaking -- particularly, at the moment, a Scottish dirk (probably start small with a skean dhu).
    At this point the only real tool I own is an old and rather large Craftsman drill press I picked up from a friend.
    Anyway, there appears to be a wealth of resourcefulness and creativity here and I'm looking forward to learning a lot.
