Brand new to the site. Started woodworking twenty-five years ago when a work colleague gave me an old contractor's table saw he no longer wanted. I built some simple birdhouses and became hooked. One thing led to another and the tools started multiplying. Then I got addicted to buying wood. After filling my shop, the basement, and the garage with exotic hardwoods, I decided that I needed to make things. My skills developed slowly and are still developing slowly.

Now that I am retired, I try to spend some time every day in my shop. I started focusing on handwork about six years ago. Big learning curve - lots of mistakes. Still learning.

I hope to learn a lot here from the members.
