I got my CarveWright machine on January 8th of this year. Prior to that, I had spent quite a bit of time just watching what was going on in the forum and basically kept my ears open for a sign that now was the time to buy me a machine.

One of my new years resolutions was to get involved with the internet and put together a way to help me with my hobby and make a couple of bucks to help offset the cost of that hobby.

Wood Carving Machine Tips was born!!

I haven't looked back on that decision, other than to realize just how important a number of people have been to help me realize that goal and new years resolution. Thanksgiving is almost upon us and I think that NOW is a good time to thank those that have been so good to me.

• Rusty at Mac Compatible Web Cams. He has been my mentor and teacher and continues to guide (and sometimes badger) me into getting done what needs to be done. There is no way I could have even come close to what I have online without his help.
• Joe Lovchik of CarveWright's marketing department. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement and your offer to help me in any way I may need. That offer means a lot to me - especially in these early stages.
• Michael Tyler of CarveBuddy.com. Michael, you were the first person from outside my little world that introduced yourself, sent me inspiring compliments and continue to send people my way and never ask for anything in return. You are one of the nicest people I have met during this endeavor. I can't begin to thank you enough.
• Tommy of CompuCarveWright.com. I want to thank this gentleman too, for suggesting people come visit my site and watch my tutorials. I am grateful to your recommendations.
• I want to thank the hundreds of subscribers that have signed up for my tip newsletter and who continue to challenge and support my efforts.
• And most of all, I want to thank the CarveWright forum members. You folks are great and the support you give to all of us is without measure.

Thank you EVERYONE and I wish you a great ThanksGiving.
