Greetings from the Pacific Northwest!  I'm excited to have found this group!  My husband recently retired from the Air Force after 29 years of service, and we finally have all his woodworking tools out of storage. ;-)  I'm looking forward to learning from all of you as we start tackling projects!

Welcome aboard!

 

Just to let you know. There're two things we REALLY like around here.  Pictures and donuts.  

 

Pictures for the obvious reasons and the other you will learn about shortly.

 

Don't be afraid to ask any questions you may have as there's a great group of folks here that just love to help out any way they can.

First, welcome to The Patriot Woodworker Stacy and a huge Thank-you to your husband for his dedicated service and sacrifice to our nation. It's great to have you both on-board and exciting to hear the tools are coming out of storage. Looking forward to seeing and reading about the shop set-up and projects yet to come.

 

Peruse the site and if you have any questions, concerns or recommendations please let us know. A great group of talented and helpful people here.

 

Now, since you mentioned donuts, the tradition is the new guy or lady brings donuts for the gang. Your day is tomorrow. Since you brought your husband along too, his day is Sunday. Just drop them off in the break room. I'll let everyone know they've arrived.

Thanks, Dave!  I will pass along your kind words to my hubby (also a Dave).  :-)  So happy to have found such a knowledgeable, friendly and welcoming group!  I look forward to learning from you all!

 

Donuts in the breakroom -- got it!  ;-)
