Good Morning from the coast
Good morning;
This is my first post here at NC woodworking. I'll tell you a bit about who I am
My name is Howard Orr, I am 61 years old, and have been enjoying retirement for 13 years. I spent 4 years in the USMC back in the mid 60s, and shortly after getting my discharge I entered the Pa. State Police. I was able to retire with full benifits at age 47. 9 years ago my wife and I started spending the winters at Topsail Beach, and 3 years ago finally got 2 1/2 acres here in Holly Ridge. I built my "Dream Shop" behind our house, and now spend 9 months here, and 3 in the woods of Pennsylvania, in a camper trailer. I have been doing woodworking for many years. I spent last year making pens, and wine bottle stoppers, and have now moved on to scroll saw, and intarsia projects. I have found that most people are not willing to pay what a project is worth, so I have stopped trying to sell my items, and am happy to give them as gifts.

Re: Good Morning from the coast
Howard, welcome to the best woodworking forum in NC! I don't know if you realize it or not, but there's a great sawmill owned by one of our members right down the road from you in Burgaw.
When you have a minute, check out some of the posts by Ivey here on the forum and you'll see what I mean.
A word of caution... this group will hound you for photo's of your projects, so I hope that you've got a digital camera!

Re: Good Morning from the coast
Well glory BE;
Just in my first post with NC woodworking I get some useful information. I have been trying for several years to find a sawmill over here on the coast with little or no luck. Can you give me some details on who has it, and what his username is? I brought back some wormy chestnut barn beams from Pa this summer, and was looking for someone to resaw them., I have since chunked a couple of pieces off the end, but EVERYONE needs a good sawyer now and then.

Re: Good Morning from the coast
Welcome Howard! at the top of the page, you will find a tab "Where Are", and under there you will find a listing for NC Sawyers. I'm pretty sure Ivey has already been listed there.

Re: Good Morning from the coast
Hello Howard,
Let me add another welcome to the North Carolina Woodworker site. Pete's correct that Ivey is listed under the Where Are? function. So are loads of others, sawyers, dealers, and so on. I think the real fun is in the postings here. You'll find a great group of woodworkers here. So... post a question, or answer someone else's. Upload a couple of photos (we do love our photos here). And, again, welcome.
Ray

Re: Good Morning from the coast
Welcome to the group Howard. 
The sawdust gang that hangs out here is very useful. Taught me a few things.

Re: Good Morning from the coast
Howard, welcome to the best WW'ing site on the net. It's good to have another "Coastie" on the site. I live about 25 miles from you up HWY 50 and go through Holly Ridge when we go to our house in Surf City (that is For Sale if you know someone that wants water front property). Look forward to seeing photos of some of your work and maybe a look at your Dream Shop.

Re: Good Morning from the coast
Thank you for the reply, I am having some trouble navigating around all of this, but I guess I will figure it out.
Howard.
