Hey all,
Found this web sight by surfing the web and found some interesting articles. I live in Illinois and a retired railroad engineer, I have tinkered around with woodworking for a number of years but still consider myself a novice. Most of my equipment is Craftsman, which consist of table saw, radial arm saw, drill press, 13" planer, scroll saw, Porter cable (6931) plunge router, plate jointer, and nurmerous other equipment, right now I am in the process of building my router table, I have one, but thought I would upgrade, I have seen some good pictures here and has given me some ideas. I am also a golf nut, I work part time in the summer (3 days a week) and golf 5-6 time a week, so, don't do much woodworking in the summer. Anywy, enough about me, looks like a great web site and I will be checking in often......FB
