Introductions

[ben mc]

Hi everyone, I found this forum while looking for some wood, and after reading some posts I decided I should join. I'm a musician (upright bass) who is getting into woodworking because of my love of string instruments. I am currently building an electric upright bass, a project I started 7 years ago and am just now feeling confident enough to finish. :embaresse I am definatley a novice woodworker, my tools and experience are mostly carpentry based.

I am looking forward to learning and sharing with this community, I love the fact that it is limited to NC and only freindlyness is allowed.:icon_chee
You guys have the best collection of smileys I've seen yet.:XXfridgeI love that one!)

peace,
Ben

Welcome to the site Ben. I bet it looks very nice up in the mountains right now. :thumbs_up There are a few other members on here that are making instruments, so I'm sure you will have some brains to pick. Upright bass sounds like a challenging project. I can't wait to see how it turns out. :icon_thum

Cheers, ccasion1
