I am Mike, a woodwork teacher for the last 40 years. Just building another router table to incorporate a Jessem Router Raiser and an Ultra Incra jig, both of which I bought a few years ago. I build furniture and electric and acoustic guitars and basses. I enjoy woodturning and all craft aspects. I have always been a cyclist and have been a county level recurve archer for the last 4 years, and am building a couple of laminated longbows.

Hey Mike welcome to the forum, good to have you with us.
I too enjoy bows the wife has a compound and I have a full working recurve, but neither of us are big wheels we leave the cycling to some one else.

Welcome to the forum,Mike. Glad to have you here. Please give us a little more information as to where you teach, and live. Thank you. Enjoy
I live and work in Altrincham, Cheshire, U.K. I have been working at the local Grammar school for the last 36 years. Before that I was in London after leaving Shoredith College of Handicraft and Education, Surrey. I love designing and building jigs, as well as making all types of things.The latest being my Archery Trolley and equipment box/seat Discovering the router some 25 years ago gave so much more to woodworking. What a useful tool. My least favorite tool is a hand held Elu electric saw. I enjoy using Buiscuit jointers. CAD CAM is a great tool at times when it goes well.
hi mike cant wait to see some of your work...i have a friend that build bows i think he uses orange sage? anyway welcome aboard
Greetings Mike and welcome to the forum. I used to cycle when I lived in Katy Texas. I enjoyed it until people started throwing things at me!! I guess they couldn't stand getting home one minute late because of me--Oh Well. A friend and I would put in 4000-6000 miles a year. I sure wasn't fat then!! My bike was a Romec custom triathlons using 531 tubing. This was back in 1990 so that was a popular tubing to use.
Thank you for your great reply, It is so nice to be able to talk to someone who is active and who knows, we may have one of your friends that Are members, or perhaps a student.
My road bike is a 531 db Eddy Merckx from 1973. I have just changed the rear Campag derailleur for a new Shimano Ultegra after some 30 + years. Orange Osage for bows. The Teacher has arrived.
