Hello to all, I'm not much of a social media guy, but I was researching product reviews and stumbled upon this site awhile ago.

So I am a mariner getting really close to retirement and a hobbyist that likes to work with wood. I have recently purchased some used equipment that I need to learn how to operate and repair when required. I am really hoping to be able to tap into all the knowledge and experience of those here willing to share.

Thanks for accepting me into the group.

Welcome to the forum fellow Canadian, and thank you for filling out your profile. Looking forward to seeing your future projects.

I recently purchased a few General International tools (shaper, joiner w/mortice attachment, planer, drum sander, table saw etc.) Still building a functional shop, hopeful to post pics in my profile soon.

Hey,Terry; welcome!
"Drum sander"....*envy!*. On my most wanted list.
'Mimac' (Brian) is over in Langford. He's a really accomplished craftsman, and a generally nice guy. He'd be happy to talk shop with you; PM him if you'd like to chat.

Thanks Dan, the tools I've purchased used to belong to my neighbor and friend, I have used them multiple times over the years, and now it's up to me to maintain them. The drum sander was interesting trying to get the table tracking evenly.

I'll keep an eye out for Mimac, thanks.

Hi Tom, first thing I did was check out Sticks documents, very informative indeed.
