Recently found this site and saw some folks I know from other forums so decided to check it out. Looks like my kind of place. After a few hiccups getting registered, I'm finally here. And boy are you folks in trouble.

 

Retired Army officer and retired police Lt. that does a bit of woodworking to stay at least somewhat gainfully occupied. I mainly do specialty plaques, nameplates and other related items for a local trophy shop. For myself I make bowls, cutting boards, etc. for the craft show season. Mainly with my Ringmaster and everything done with my Shopsmith. Did I say this was my kind of place?

 

I plan to ask questions as needed and provide answers to others as my experience allows. I think I do fair to good work but there is always room for improvement and I will be grateful for any and all comments and criticism offered. I'll post a few pics of some of my work and let that speak for itself.

Welcome to TPW, we have a Shopsmith Forum you might be interested in following.  Feel free to jump in and share some wit, wisdom or humor.  

Welcome to the forum !

Welcome aboard!  Great to have you with us!

Happy to see you here.   Hope things aren't too bad in your section of Texas. 

Well I saw the Turning post first but here is another welcome to the crew

Always good to see new members, welcome!

Great to see you here, Tony. 

Welcome, and nice work. 

Welcome aboard Tony, glad to have you here.

Hi, and welcome! Haven’t been to Texas since I left Lackland AFB, January3, 1979.

 P-Toad you don't really hope that do you?

 

Where in Texas Tony?

Guess I misread p_toad's comment. There are issues here in the area but we're still okay at my hacienda. Will be nice to get back to the shop again.

 

Smallpatch - I can throw a rock and have it land on Ft. Hood. Probably get in trouble for doing that, but....

Just sayin'.   I have a daughter and SIL down in Texas and with the recent weather and power outages...   Didn't think i would have to explain. 

Welcome aboard!!  I look forward to seeing some of your projects.  You'll find this a welcoming place.  Just dive right in.

Welcome.
