Hi Brian,
Welcome to the forums from another Canuck....I'm in Squamish, my mother-in-law used to live in Gibsons and we'd visit her often there.
I've been doing hobby woodworking now for a couple years but not with your kind of background.
Good to see another WW close to home join the forums. If you're interested in lots of educational videos check out:

Thanks,
Ed......:-)
