Good afternoon to all. Just wanted to introduce myself here on the forum. I am retired but busier now than when I was working. I do mostly woodturning which consists mostly pepper mills, pens, mini birdhouses, veggie peelers, pizza cutters, etc. I already have 2/3's of my Christmas stock done for this year. I also like to build and refinish antique furniture. If I find a piece of antique furniture I like I will take measurements and build it. I also do antique clock restoration which I have been doing for over 35 yrs which I enjoy very much and is my main business. I generally have 20 to 40 clocks in my shop for restoration at any one time. I also garden which I finally had time to do when I retired 6 yrs ago. Last but not least I am a ham radio operator. I have had my ham license for 50 yrs this last April. So lots of stuff to do and keep me busy. I did not want to retire and just sit. I am not a big poster but I will come in pretty much everyday and do a lot of reading. Always trying to learn new ways to do things. Thanks.

Welcome Bernie, always good to see new members!

Hey Bernie... so glad ya made it....

Glad you came aboard Bernie.  We can use more turners to liven the forum up some.  Look forward to your participation.

Thanks to all. Stick how are ya? If ya are looking for donuts I done ate them all. LOL I don't know if Bill will come over or not. I wish he would. I don't know if he has problems of sort as I have not heard from him now for 3 or 4 months. I private messaged him but not returning my messages. Don't know what is going on or if I made him mad or what. Anyway good to see ya.

 

Dan that is where you will probably find me most of the time. I do like my woodturning. Thanks again.

holding my own Bernie...

I know... Bill has been strangely silent...

sorry to hear about the donuts.. but still glad to see ya here...

John made it and still waiting for Chuck to show up...

Good deal. Be nice to get those guys over here. Yea I don't know about Bill. He and I talked about everyday and then nothing. I just hope things are good with him and his. Sorry about the donuts. They just don't last here. Of course I don't eat many of those as I have to watch my girlish figure. LOL

Welcome aboard Bernie...looks like you already know a few here. I guess if Stick forgives for no donuts I'll give a pass too. I think you'll find this forum is like no other...best managed and supported there is.

Once you settle in, I think you'll find yourself posting more....ya' kinda' can't help yourself...friendliest & smartest folks I've ever been around. Glad you're here!

Welcome aboard Bernie.   Sounds like you have plenty on your plate already (well, except those donuts everyone is talking about). 

Welcome to the forum Bernie!!!

Little disappointed that their are no donuts but I guess we'll let it pass this time. Don't let it happen again. 

 

Enjoy
