    Default G'day from Ontario, Canada

    Hello everyone.

    Im a retired soldier from the Canadian Forces. RCEME - Sgt - Weapons Tech - 26 years.

    I've always been working with wood in one form or another, with the plan of making it my retirement job. Now that I am retired, my plan has slidn in the direction of custom pen maker. While this is the main aspect of my business, I am pushing myself back into custom boxes as well.

    I am a member of a rew other pen and wood related forums. Some of the work I've seen coming from Australian artisans is amazing.

    I love the diversity of this forum and look forward to learning much more than pen making tips. The box making catagory has already caught my attention and will likely take up much of my reading time.

    I look forward to getting to know everyone and learning alot.
