Hi john

yea I'm getting better slowly , it all started about three yrs ago with kidney infections which kept flaring up over the following two yrs , seems to be OK now, then last Christmas I became a diabetic, now it looks like i have neuropathy in the feet which is quite painful still waiting for blood checks from the docs, so I'm limited to what i can get done in the day.

I am a joiner by trade since i was 15 trained in building house , then went into the local naval base till it closed in 1996 by then i was the property manager there. after that i went self employed in property maintenance and started to build my own shop as time and work load would allow me till my health gave way . now retired early i only do work on my own house. being retired early with no pension as yet make life a little difficult at times so the funds are not plentiful so i can only fit my shop out as funds become available, but never mind I'll get there in the end . love your American tools bye the way there excellent.

You seem to be on a positive path now and this is "all good". I believe positive thinking brings positive resaults and you joining this forum is a positive thing.

Why you ask, because you get to make saw dust

You do not need a lot of tools to make saw dust.

Have a great wood working day and looking forward to some projects.
John
