Hello,

 

I just joined this group when I was searching for information on Shopsmith Forums. Been a woodworker on and off for a while now. Built a couple of decks, kitchen cabinets and made a lot of pens.  My dad was a master woodworker and I inherited his tools.  Learned the basics on his Shopsmith.  Lost all of my tools to a fire back in January of this year.  Slowly rebuilding my shop and Hopefully will be able to get it set up again when our house is finished getting re-built.  Looking forward to reading a learning in the coming months.

Glad you found us Bernie.  Welcome.

Welcome aboard. The good thing about setting up a new shop is you can get everything just like you want it. Don't hesitate to ask us before you buy as there is lots of experience here.

Welcome Bernie!!!!

Welcome Bernie ! Ditto to what Gerald said. The PTW is a great place bounce all your woodworking ideas off of. It’s sort of a cross between Fine Woodworking and Monty Python Does Woodworking. Great to have you here !

Welcome Bernie from another Shopsmither. Did you lose the 'Smith in that fire?
