Good morning and happy Monday! Starting today, I'll be posting weekly Member Welcomes every Monday. I have been slacking a little while I get my bearings, and I do apologize for that. I'll do better. With that said, I'd like to start out by welcoming everyone, @Mark F , @Jennifer Karr, @Jamie Clemens, @Crystal Rasch, @Rhian Williams, @Ryan Schwalm, @Roxanne Robinson, @Brian Arcoite, @Brittany OBrien, @Shi Lessner, @Susan Padley, @Felix Urbanek, and @Amazingly Fit Welcome to each of you. I look forward to sharing with you all in the future. Now I did leave one person off the list because I wanted to thank them specifically. Thank you @Terence Vezina for everything. Your interactions here in the community, your feedback and insights within your community, and, of course, the various DM chats we've had. You sir, are appreciated! For those who don't know, Terence is a highly skilled blacksmith who has brough his craft to Skool. He's he some awesome information coming for anyone who has an interest in Blacksmithing.

Sundays here are usually my slow-down days. These are the days when I spend time with my church family, relax with my cat, and take in a movie, usually. This Sunday, though, I'll be honing some skills. I am actually quite excited to be taking an online filmmaking crash course so I can create some top-quality content for all of you! I'm hoping to share some of my practice videos with y'all in the very near future. What have y'all got planned for today? Let me know in the comments, I'm super curious😁

It's Sunday, it's -21 degrees Celsius outside, and today I am taking a thinking drive. Well, it's not just for thinking, I have some other stuff to do, but either way it's going to be my Sunday Funday. What do you folks have planned for today? Work? Play? Nothing? I'll be spending a couple of hours with friends this morning, then I'm on the road to think, plan, and do something called Propagation Testing. I'll explain that for anyone interested, if they so desire.

Hi there, and welcome to the PinchPenny DIY'er! I’m Roy, and I’m a medically retired Gen Xer living out in west-central Alberta, Canada. Over the years, I’ve taught myself the basics of a wide range of hands-on skills such as woodworking, stick welding, and blacksmithing/ironwork to gardening, cooking, and preserving. I’m always on the lookout for practical ways to save money, and I love helping others do the same by sharing how I make, repair, or repurpose items. I’ve decided it’s time to bring what I do to the wider world. I’m excited to build a helpful, supportive community here on Skool where we can learn, create, share ideas and grow together. I'm looking forward to connecting with each of you soon! Now that winter is setting in here in Alberta, Canada, and there is currently no adequate workshop access for more complex project content until spring, I am going to ask: What would you like to explore? Recipes? Kitchen hacks? General guides on basic home repairs? My goal is to make this an interactive community through feedback and conversation. I'm looking forward to batting around some ideas to add to my current list of topics.

Yesterday I was planning to release part 2 of the Reining in Rampant Rabbits. Unfortunately, due to a household emergency requiring immediate attention, my schedule has been somewhat gibbled. I do apologize for the delay and will be working on the article as I can find the time today. I hope to have part 2 released tomorrow. I do apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience.
