Joined up the other day .

The name here is wysong  as in Wysong & Miles woodworking machinery (pre-ww2)

the real name is John Hutcheson , so I get " Hutch " a lot , just don't ask me where starsky is (so old)

 

I used to run my own shop for 25 years , but decided to try somethig else when I hit the big 50.

Now I work for someone elso and build chinese kitchens out of a box, the hours are short and the $ is great.

 

I still have my shop , but it's closing in dec of this year.

It should be real interesting tearing down a shop that took 15 years to build up.

 

I'm a very new widowed(3 months ) father of one 22 year old  daughter .

I enjoy buying and refurbishing quality woodworking machines, and selling off

to fund my habit/addiction.

 

I own about 20 ton of machinery in 3 different shops .

told ya it was a sickness

 

 

 

 

Hutch, go see Dr. Kloes.  He has the cure for what ails ya.

Welcome Hutch, glad to see you here. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. What is going to happen with the 15 yrs of accumulation?

Hutch! .. glad to see you and Jack here. I think you will enjoy the site.

 

20 tons? Yupp, you got the sickness. I am only sittin at about 8 tons in my one shop Almost a ton lighter since I sold my Crescent planer and soon to be a ton and a half lighter when I deliver the Universal Wood-Worker ... looking forward to getting some of my shop space back, darn thing takes up a ton of room.

 

I like the username ya chose. Wysong and Miles made some great machinery. Did I ever show ya the mortiser I restored? Don't remember if I posted it on OWWM.

Thanks again for joining.

 

Hutch, its great you are here. Sorry to hear about the chinese cabinet business, but I understand. ;>)

Is it hard to work for someone else after being on your own after all these years?

Forget what Ron said about me having a cure. I don't and don't plan on looking for one. Good luck on the refurbishing business. You will do very well. bob
