Good morning, another new guy reporting for duty. I like to learn about the Civil War and I also do a lot of woodworking, building replicas of period things. Glad to be here. Charlie
Post pictures of some of your woodworking some time. We'd love to see it.

Post at your own pace and if you have reference sites, links to the topic you have posted about; please add them; as it adds to the research and response to the post.
If you see ***** it is the naughty word catcher. Just go back to your post and hit the edit button and cleverly respell the word with hyphens if the word is innocent. Seems like fu-rthest gets censored a lot; General Cu-mmings name also.
Respectfully submitted for consideration,

Welcome, Baystater. Although I am a southern sympathiser, I have lately grown fond of one of Massachusetts regiments.
Have a good time!

Welcome Charlie: I spent some time in your beautiful state. So much different than the midwest. I'm also a new guy. Glad to have you.

Thanks, actually I'm in this state living in exile, I am from Maine, hope to be back there some day.I'm not far from the S'fld armory, good Civil War museum. Charlie
Hope you enjoy your time in exile by coming to this board and saying "hey!" once in a while.
As ole says, pull a stump up to the fire and sit a spell. Plenty of room for another friend.
Sincerely,

Charlie,

Ole never says pull a "stump" up to the fire. Ole knows that stumps don't move. He says pull a "log" up to the fire.So you see, Charles, that we can become criminally silly on occasion.
