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.
