Hello everyone. Just recieved my mdx-15 and am chomping at the bit to get started. I'm sure there will be alot of questions in the beginning so just hang in there with me. I operate a small custom jewelry and repair shop in Gainesville, Fl. This seems to be the way to go now in wax work although old habits tend to die hard. Look forward to learning with everyone and hopefully be able to lend some advice in the near future.

As you can see, there's lots to read!
Remember that there's also just as much help as you need.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Looking forward to the upcoming learning process. Yes Colin my eyes are already bleeding. LOL just trying to take all this in. I think I'm trying to retain to much to fast. Will probably be after this weekend before I can dive in head first. Still in the process of putting down wood floors in the house. Paul
Welcome to the Ward
Running, hiding, then sprinting, they catch you and lead you back to the Ward. The MDX-15 Ward is a special place for people who fall in love with a machine that will allow jewelers and some humans to do things that they only dreamed of being able to do. Carve waxes, make any design, make limited editions, make logo designs, make pendants, bolos, wedders, college rings, business rings, belt buckles, chastity belts, baby spoons, keys, pipe tampers, copies of ancient jewelry, coins, medals, and love every minute.
Of course Paul, you will need a notebook, a place to write notes about each project, and plenty of time reading the posts in the forum. Also read some of my welcomes to other newbies. Long winded, but of some help.
Instead of a straight jacket, they merely turn on a mill, and you will enter into the trance of becoming a 3Dmiller. Actually, the madness creaps up slowly. It is a form of illness that will get progressively worse with time. Paul, you will start to dream about projects, carry bits in your pockets, make milling noises when shaving or brushing your teeth, or worse during a boring sermon, or in harmony during Church hymns.
There will be times when you drive to work, that you will be looking at scenes that could be milled. Others talk on cell phones, you will be planning your next milling job.
Lastly, as the illness progresses and your kids and grand kids decide which Nursing home to place you in, drop small hints that you would rather be placed in a place near a seller of Roland mills.
My wife said she was a millers widow, so to solve the problem I bought a mill for the home. Now, she knows where I am at home.
She told me that if I buy another Roland mill she will use it for an anchor. Roland mills are well made and should keep this old boy down at the bottom of the Trinity River if it is securely attached to my legs, prior to my final plunge.
Seriously, you will enjoy the mill and all the help from the guys. Welcome to the Ward, an early patient..... Winstone
