G'Day & Welcome to the Great Southern Land and to a top forum,
There are quite a few members from the "USA" plus "canuck" members but I think you're the first I've welcomed from Barbados....
You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.
Make sure you show off your handiwork as everyone loves a photo, especially WIP [Work In Progress] photos with build notes.
Enjoy the forum.
Enjoy your woodwork.....
Cheers from On Top DownUnder, crowie
PS - May I suggest that you start a new thread in General section to gain a wider audience for your question....
