Stu in Tokyo Japan · 02-11-2005, 06:52 AM

As it is only polite to say hello and introduce one's self before entering a conversation, that is what I'm doing.

My name is Stu, I'm a Canadian (from Kelowna BC a while back) living and working in Tokyo Japan. My lovely wife and I run her family's liquor shop (yes you read that correctly!). When I'm not busy working, I do some woodworking for the shop (building shelves for the wine, and some cabinets etc) and for my family. We have a 7 floor building, which we live in the top 2 floors (it is nice, but not that large) and I have a woodworking shop in the basement. It is not large, and egress is through a hatch, but all in all it sure beats almost anything any of my buddies here have!

I'm here as I got pointed to this place by some kind soul on another BBS (I don't know if it is a no-no to mention that other BBS, so I land on the side of caution). I'm building a router table, got it just about done, and I'm going to be making a bunch of raised panel doors for a renovation in the liquor shop.

You can see my website in my sig below, and if you have some time to kill, take a look.

I was always taught "there are not dumb questions, just dumb mistakes" so I'll be doing my best to live up to my teachings....

Cheers!

Very Little fishing, but my other hobby is motorcycles, and for that, I'm in the center of the world

Cheers!

Ohio gozimas? Stusan, welcome to the forum. My Japanese is as good as my Spanish, and it's all Greek to me. You have come to the right place. This is a really NICE forum. Excelent advise, knowledgeable friendly people, and it can be fun too. I too feel there are no dumb questions, only dummies who wont ask. Enjoy and welcome.
