    NOOB in NC....

    Hey guys just wanted to introduce myself... Originally from San Diego... Currently in central, NC.... I've always been a ground dweller, but I want to start making more of my gear, so I'm moving up in the world... Plan to be hangin' this spring... I currently use a 1956 General Model 15 (Singer 15 clone) "thread injector"(best name for a sewing machine ever!).... I look forward to the wealth of knowledge I'm about to glean from the community, especially you DIY folks!

    Welcome aboard from up the road a ways, lots of great information in the DIY section and before you know it you'll have projects everywhere.

    Get organized early, is my advice to you.

    Welcome, wayniac!

    I have yet to sew a straight stitch and my workbench was wrecked by a run-away car ... but DIY is fun and there are true experts here. You've come to the right place.

    welcome to the madness from down on the coast. Raven Rock State Park is close by and has some good places hang.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !

    I spend a lot of time at Raven Rock... Truly a gem in this state....
