Hello, I'm new to this forum. I have 40 years experience as an automotive technician and 33 years of that as a small business owner in that same field. I'm now going to try my hand at full time wood manipulation for fun, relaxation and maybe a little profit.

John: welcome to the forums - you'll find a lot of friendly, knowledgeable folks here. Looking at your profile, you've got a nice collection of tools and with 50+ years of experience working wood, you should fit right in, so take part in the discussions and let us know what you're working on. We like pictures. Having said that, you can only post pictures that are on your computer until you have 10 posts - then you can post links. Easy enough to get to 10; just say hello to new members, respond to some threads and you'll be there in no time.

Glad you decided to join the fun. This group is not only always ready to offer suggestions, but we also like to keep a spirit of fun. After all, this is woodworking, making great stuff, not woodworker inquisition time. You'll soon notice more than a few of us also enjoy playing word games.

Hi back,
I've played with CNC while fabricating metal components and I prefer what I can turn out by using the creative extensions I have, aka hand tools. But... a person can always be persuaded to expand the inventory...
