Hi from Ottawa, Canada

Hello all.
Long time lurker, thought I'd finally sign up so I can say Hi and gain access to the convenience of clicking on "new posts" to see the latest updates from all of you.
Those of you who have been active on alloyavenue over the past 5 years may recognize me or even recall giving me some great advice in that time. And for those of you who left there before that time, I recognize most of you from your old posts there (and here). I am still quite active there as well as on the newer thehomefoundry.org forums.
For those who don't already know me, I do greensand casting in aluminum and bronze, and the occasional lost foam casting. Just picked up a small electric kiln too, so there might be some small scale heat treating and lost wax casting in my future as well. Strictly hobbyist level so far, but I am trying hard to improve my skills, and dream of one day turning it into a sideline that hopefully at least covers its own expenses.
I like your quiet little hideout here. Promise to listen more than I talk and not to stir up any trouble!
Jeff
