I sent out a welcome message to Jim and the rest of our members, and I forgot to also include that Jim is a vocational teacher as well, your in good company Jim, Ralph Jones spent his life doing what you do, and Roy Boomershine also taught at the High School level. Great bunch of guys we have here!

Thanks again for the welcome . I'm a adult woodworking instructor for our local community collage. My classes are one night a week for adults. I also have my own woodshop that I make furniture and cabinets plus my contracting business in southern Oregon.

Hi Jim , Welcome aboard .

Hey Rob thanks for the welcome and telling me about T.A.W

I'll second that Jim! And thanks Rob for putting out the word. And now Jim, it's your turn to spread the word!!! Bring all your friends! That is of course if you want to, no obligation, we are just happy your here. I am familiar with you and your work Jim, I have been a fly on the wall over at LJ's for a couple years and I have always respected your commentary and work.

Hey John

I'm kind of coasting with my comments since I came close to 40K on LJs I just want to enjoy some new folks and get to know the neighborhood for a while. I always recommend what I like. So far what's not to Like)

Good morning Again Jim,

Since you are a former teacher as well as Roy and me maybe we could get together and come up with some good topics for the forums. Please visit my Web site www.ralphjoneswoodworking.com and see what I have done to help the new woodworkers. Also maybe you could follow RJW America as I travel along teaching folks who didn't get a chance to learn a trade but now can do so absolutely free of any charge.

Ralph

40K! Don't be shy Jim, we'll take your 40K comments any day! Looking forward to your participation, since we are new and young, your coming in on the ground floor of this site. We don't move as fast as the bigger sites yet, but we are working on it. I just hope you guys are patient with our steady rate of progress and keep coming back. Your all very much appreciated here. Everyone who is here at this point are the pioneers of this site, blazing new grounds. Thanks again for being here Jim.

Hey, Jim just wanted to drop you a welcome here in the forums. Glad you are browsing our workshops. Hope you will jump in and share with the group.

Thanks again, and welcome aboard.

John I looked at all your projects and those of other members and I'm really impressed.

I don't think I'll be doing another 40K comments anywhere . As far as not moving as fast as LJs that's fine.

Gene thanks for your welcome

Ralph I think your plenty knowledgeable without my input but I would be glad to brainstorm anytime , Nice web site here's one of mine http://heirloomwoodshop.com/

Thanks again for your welcome John Moody you are a great greeter of new members.

Hi Jim,

Your shop is some what similar to mine in regard to the Compound Miter saw and a few other things as we never seem to have enough room for the many things we accumilate over the years.

I will be calling on you from time to time to do a little brain storming for sure and since you haven't met Roy Bloomershine yet you will find that we three have a lot in common.

Talk to you later my friend,

Ralph

Thanks Ralph I noticed we both have shops with Gambrel roofs and stairs coming out the front. look forward to any future talks.
