    Hello :)

    Hello everyone. I registered for this forum back in December. I've been lurking and trolling since then. I think it's about time that I say hi. And wow to this forum. Lots of information and lots of helpful people here.

    I'm in Nova Scotia. I've been in business for almost 12 years. I've owned my laser for the last 4 and still feel like a newb with it. Before then it was a New Hermes rotary engraver. I also do embroidery and dabble a bit with sublimation printing, sure not feeling the love for sublimation.

    My business is in the basement of my home. I have one room for the engraving and one room for the embroidery. I'm usually running back and forth and I also have boxes of stuff laying about (sorting and cleaning) so I'm jumping hurdles as I go. It gets me out of breath lol

    An hour south of Yarmouth would put you quite a ways out into the Tusket Basin I assume you mean an hour down 103.. My wife is from Weymouth, and we still have family scattered Digby to Lunenburg.. I hope your all dug out of the Snowstorm..
