Default Weekend Hack & Tool Junkie

Just a weekend hack and tool junkie trying to figure out how to use all of the tools I own while all the time adding to to the collection. I am drawn to woodworking but struggle with the machinery. I am getting there and getting better, but slowly. My dad used to say that I had three speeds- slow, slower and slowest. He later changed it to four speeds to include stop. Everyone who knows me would agree. Love woodworking and tools but I wish my two car garage was bigger and more spacious and had plumbing. I grew up as the youngest of 5 boys and have one girl, almost 4, who is already a handful and is exercising her independent hinking on a daily basis.

Welcome to the forums.

Young girls grow very independant but always remain "Daddies little girl", I have three daughters and can relate.

"Slow,slower, slowest are OK, But you need "stop" to recharge the batteries and re-group.

Have a great wood working day!
John
