Tmmckinley Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hello my name Is Thomas McKinley, Grew up on farms learning a strong work ethic as well as many other usefull things. My dad started me young using tools and let me run wild with all the scrap wood and metal I wanted. The past couple years have allowed me to get back to that time and relearn what I had lost and learning new things. My two kids son 6 and Daughter 12 are encourged to create and learn how to use the tools needed to make what they imagine. I have alot in my head that needs to get out and made so hopefully I will be posting new patterns for people to use. I learned a few new tricks with the Gimp training on the site, thank you for that. bobscroll, amazingkevin, Clayton717 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Roy Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hello Thomas, I'm Roy from Scotland. Welcome to the Village. Take a stroll around, there's more to the Village than meets the eye. All sorts of magical things here, not to mention Magical members, some of whom are magical pattern makers. There are also magical tea and coffee makers. And best of all there's Amazing Kevin, you'll find out why in a short space of time. LOL. If you need help, or any information, all you need do is ask,no such thing as a silly question,although you may on occasion get a silly answer. .Most importantly ENJOY yourself. Glad to hear the youngsters are being coached in a Work Environment, too many youngsters now seem to think the world owes them a living. Incidentally, I live in a town Called KILMARNOCK and I believe you have a Kilmarnock in Virginia. Anyway Thomas WELCOME. Rob Roy. PS watch out for ROLY and KEITH. OH!! and Marg from Australia.

heppnerguy Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thomas, Glad to meet you. I can;t add much to what others have already said to you except one of the most important things you ca do is to log on here often, post and share with us your work. The best way to understand who we all are and feel 'right at home here'. Dick heppnerguy Rob Roy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
