    Great Forum You've Got Here

    Hello, hello. I just want to say that I'm happy to be here.
    I've been stalking this forum for a couple days and reading as much as I can. I already owe you all many thanks for the great education!!
    I've been scrapping non-ferrous metals for a few years. Now I am interested in getting started with e-scrap, mainly computers.
    I am self employed and am somewhat allergic to the idea of working 40 hours a week for $10 an hour. Life is too short.
    I buy storage units and sell through ebay, etsy, facebook and occasionally craigslist. I have some of my own creations for sale on Etsy too.
    Again, thank you all for sharing your knowledge. It is appreciated more than you will ever know.
    Cheryl

    Sorry for all the activity in introductions. I'm trying to get my post count up so I can post a picture of those chairs I've got.
    Hoping this post will do it.

    Scrapman, I started on etsy with leather motorcycle seats. They're so expense to make though, so I haven't done one in a while. I'm now doing counter top carnival wheels. I have ideas for other things but creating is never money in the bank. So I spend a lot of my time buying and selling to pay the bills
