Gday all!
I allways wonder what people must think of me after these introduction posts.
This I find quite funny concidering I dont give a damn in real life, nor online after more than this one post. :twisted:
Um, Ive frequented quite a few of the various Chemistry based discussion boards for the better part of the last 15 years. Have seen a few familiar names around the place.
Never even concidered looking into this field until last week when I stumbled across this site whilst searching for info on process recycling of the organic portion of cpu`s etc.
Im amazed that I never came across it sooner.
I have some formal training in Org-chem and engineering and have many years experience in the amature laboratory setting.
Not that Im a great Chemist or anything, just a keen experimentalist who has discovered many a path to "What not to do, oops, oh-oh, I made table salt again."...
Saying all that, most if not everything here is new to me and as such a lot more reading/experimentation is in order before I am able to contribute anything of value.
I love to forrage and hoard. I already have most of the equipment and chemicals needed for this hobby along with experience using metals and metalics in synthesis.
Cash is a fine motivation but I have always wanted to try my hand at casting/plating jewelery, so this is where I may take this new-found interest.That is If I ever get enough P.M to make it worth while..
I like what you guys have built here.
Even though the volume of info and the number of sub-forums is somewhat daunting, Im sure ill get through it alright as everyone seems quite friendly and helpful.
Ill try not to ask that many dumb questions I promise. :roll:
Thanks for having me.
P.s, An english major I aint, so Ill appologise in advance for any gramatical/spelling eroors.
