Hi all, my name’s Jim Smith, and I’m a 55-year-old cabinetmaker from Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve spent over 30 years perfecting the art of creating custom kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and shelves that marry design with durability. Woodworking has always been a passion of mine, and I make an effort to incorporate eco-friendly materials whenever possible. Outside of the workshop, you’ll often find me enjoying the outdoors across New Zealand. And, in case you’re wondering — I still have all ten fingers intact (so far)!

Welcome to Patriot Woodworker.

Welcome to the forum. Just ignore the demands that you bring donuts...most of us don't need them anyway.

A big TEXAS welcome Jim. 🤠

Welcome to the forum. Oh by the way we like pictures too.

Welcome Jim.  Glad you found us and I look forward to your participation.

Hi and welcome!

Welcome @Jim Smith 1969to The Patriot Woodworker. Great to have you join us and especially all the way from New Zealand. That's just cool. Looking forward to seeing and reading about your projects as well as seeing some of your outdoor adventures.

 

As for the donuts, I've never tasted a New Zealand version so can't wait to give it a go. Glad to have you here.

Welcome!   Years ago, one of the guys on my team was from New Zealand.  On his way, he'd worked in Australia, Ireland, and California.

Thank you all for the welcomes, and great to be here.
