Athena's Gifts and Garden 13 Posted November 13, 2016 Hello all! I have been lurking on here for a couple months and thought it was time to register. The wife and I are in the process of starting a new business. Our primary function will eventually be a retail plant nursery also offering garden art, custom signs and stickers. I recently purchased a 28" MH Cutter and an entry level swing away heat press from Ebay. We will be concentrating on the signs and stickers until we get to a permanent location for the business. A bit about us. I (Mike) am a Field Engineer with HP Indigo and also trained on Scitex and Pagewide (formerly IHPS). I was lead R&D tech on the HP T400 InkJet web press through alpha and beta testing. Hobbies are metal and woodworking, ham radio, our dogs, water gardening and home beer brewing among other things. I am a former medic for a medium sized ambulance company (10 years) also have worked in Law Enforcement, locksmithing and twisting wrenches on most things that move. The wife (Jeanette) is a long time nurse in both ICU/CCU and Emergency Room, she has also worked in nursing management and education. She enjoys gardening, cooking and craft projects. I wish to thank everyone on here for the wealth of information provided and hope that I will be able to contribute in some small way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
