Can I introduce myself?

[Jenni Kreller]

I happened to find Sawmill Creek by accident while looking for some Corel Draw help with my Trotec laser. I only joined a few days ago, and wanted to introduce myself and ask if there are any tips or must knows about posting I should know (other than the must read).

I decided on a whim to try woodworking a few years after high school and now have my Red Seal in Cabinetmaking. I started my own woodworking and laser engraving company when my maternity leave ended over 3 years ago. My Trotec is a new addition to the family but I am already loving all the ways I can create with it.

Thank you for allowing me to join your fantastic group, I look forward to getting extra help from (or offering it to) like minded people.

Welcome to the forum Jenni! Glad you found us. I love your avatar, that's excellent!

Make yourself at home. Congratulations on the Trotec purchase. There are a lot of Trotec users and many CorelDraw masters over in the laser section, so ask away and I'm sure you'll get plenty of friendly help.

Hello Jenni...!!! Welcome to "The Creek" and I hope that you find that the "waters" here are fine and welcoming. Learn all you can from those already here and share what you know with others here that are looking for that info to help them along the way.

Welcome Jenni !!
I have only been an active member for a few months, but have been given a lot of great advise as put together my first wood working shop.
I also enjoy sharing advise with others if I feel it will be helpful.

Welcome to the forum.

Another great forum is EngravingEtc that I visit daily like here.

Here it is a Sunday and you have a bunch of Welcome Reply's.

When you get stuck on a weekend in Corel or a Laser Question you are likely to find a quick answer here and on EE by just asking.

Welcome :) Neighbor to the North.

Welcome to SMC. I, too, started as a woodworker and thought I would do engraving for woodworkers. Big misjudgment--now I rarely do a woodworking job instead concentrating on various commercial stuff. Mostly plastic and metal with a few wood jobs here and there.
