Hello from Iowa (finally!)
on: December 06, 2011, 08:42:04 PM
So, after several months of lurking, and trying to create an account... every time I tried to sign up, it called me spam and refused.  :ahhh  Even trying to email the site admin I just got the email returned to me. I finally got it working by signing up with facebook.  (terrible terrible things I must do for you guys >:( )

Anyway, now I can finally say: Hello everyone!

My name is Michael, but since it's such a common name even on these forums, you can call me Glynn, and I'll know who you mean  ;). I'm.. almost 31 years old, and I work as a computer technician (feel free to PM me with computer/tech/networking questions/problems if you want, no guarantees on replies, but I'll try to help if I can) for just about everyone in a small town in northeast Iowa. I found this site a few months ago when I decided that carrying my chinese piece of junk metal with 2 out of 11 barely useful tools, and the rest dead weight, just wouldn't cut it, and started looking for a real swiss army knife or multitool. I started with a cybertool 34 ( and all the rest in a box NTSA lot from ebay, got lots of parts :P ), but I'm a bit OCD, so the standard tools just weren't good enough  ::), and with relatives all over in carpentry, woodworking, metalworking, engineering, etc.., modding was bound to happen, and from there..  well, there will be pics, soon as I get them taken. (And there needs to be an emoticon with a SAK with a vacuum, sucking all the cash out of a wallet, then multiplying  :D )

Enough about me, time to put my camera to work. Hopefully I'll get some put up in the next day or two, then you will see I'm not a spammer(except maybe a pic spammer)!  :D

Hello and welcome :cheers: I had problems signing up to but a buzzy body here helped me, so technically all my spending since is his fault :D Cybertool 34, great Vic to have, very popular, says the chap who doesn't have one. That emoticon would be just right and probably get used rather a lot :ahhh Mod pics, ooh hurry up :pok:

Too late for that, I think.. better to guard my right front pocket now!


Pics shortly.. trying to get some decent lighting, and working on resizing. I'll probably have to upload to imageshack or something unless I want to make everyone use their explorer/yeoman/swisschamp's magnifiers to see them!

One teaser pic here, the rest are going in the mod squad SAK mods thread once I upload them. This was just the prototype..

Thanks a lot!

( I forgot the http, didn't I? Firefox isn't showing that in the address bar anymore, and I think I just copied from there. I did actually click the link to make sure it worked, but again, probably browser dependent. Ah well, happily you're watching out for us here, thanks!  :salute: )
