Me I guess

[artman60]

Hi, I am maybe at the end of the complete newbie stage Of woodworking. I have an idea of what I don’t know LOL. Just turned 60 in March and the world has gone in the dumper since then. Married, 1 kid, electrician, Air Force Reserves. Live in Pepperell MA. I’m a member of several woodworking forums, and heard that several members of 1, have left and came here. Since I knew them to be good people and appreciated their advice, I figgered I would see if I could be a member here, also. So Hi everyone.

Hi Artie, good to see you,glad you signed in, what have you been up to lately, If you want to put an Avatar or your posts,go to the little red triangle up by your name and click a drop down window will come down and you can customize your preferences and add an avatar. Also set the font size to suit your eyes.

Hey, Art; welcome! I just did a drive by at 'the other place' and noted your comment re the change in character over there.
Not to worry; no deep pockets calling the shots here; just us peons.

I’ve been on a couple of forums that related to my hobbies, and really felt like one big family. Inevitably there’s always a rift about something. Sometimes 1 or 2 people leave, and the forum continues to be a welcoming place, sometimes not so much. Here’s what I know, my woodworking skills/knowledge is minuscule, but I probably enjoy my shop time as much as anyone. I like to think that I get more frustrated than anyone else, but I suspect there are a LOT of perfectionists in the hobby/craft/trade. I have no ego at all about/within this hobby, just wish I was further along in the hobby competence wise. I will ask lots of questions, read other peoples questions and try to learn as much as I can. Certainly not gonna tell anyone they’re wrong. (Well maybe about electrical work LOL) Okay enough philosophical stuff, gotta go try to upload an avatar

I got to get the triangle under my name to turn red so I can open it and maybe set up an avatar.

[Herb Stoops]

What are you using, Artie? Maybe someone can help you on an I Pad, I know not about that. He wants to set his Avatar and Profile.

An avatar can be uploaded from photos, that’s how I did mine... just upload and set..

What else in the profile can’t be set easily on an iPad?
