I've seen animated and subdued, and I want to assure you I couldn't be less animated. In 2013 I was 56 and after fighting as long as I could, I had to agree disability was...

    As my username implies, I'm just sitting in the back of the shop with a lot of dust on top (gray hair) and kind of forgotten. Not much talent here but lots of enthusiasm. I haven't quite recovered from my boyhood feeling that I can do anything if I just put my mind to it. That was before I...

    I have been a woodworker for many, many years. I grew up with sawdust in my drawers; a cabinet table saw in the garage; and a love of all things wood. That doesn't mean I've succeeded in becoming much of an expert. With an engineering background, I tend to figure out too much. Since retiring 3...

    I have no shame to tell you that I am as newbie as they get, as you once were, as I am. Well gents this is quite redemptive that I am now a part of a router forum. In fact the router is the tool I fear the most... It all began one Sunday night in my backyard; I was building the first set of...
