I found this forum through a google search and immediatly loved it. I am fairly new to real woodworking and thought I would try to find a place to learn stuff. I used to help my pawpaw in his shop when I was a kid and am just now setting up my shop. I'll be on here every so often to see if I can gleen some knowledge from some pros. ]]> Introductions jdeereman http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/new-forum-fairly-new-woodworking-13226/ Greetings from Japan http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/greetings-japan-13210/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:48:39 GMT Hi there, I'm 27 and I'm rather new to woodworking but I have training in it. I can do drywall and general woodwork with no problems but I am interested in making furniture and things of that nature. Of course there aren't a whole lot of people that make those things in the military. I joined in 2003 and it's been a good job for me to have. I am married and while I'm here in Japan I have found that some of my hobbies I can't really do. I build computers and networks. I also do modifications to stereos and do my work on cars when I can. Since everything out in town is in Kanji it's hard to find parts. I have done a project or two down at the wood hobby shop and I found that it's quite an amazing shop. It has just about everything you could ask for in a wood shop and I would like to take advantage of it. I have looked at starting this for years and now I can sit down and do it. I will have some idiotic questions I am sure but from what I've seen on this site there's a lot of talented carpenters here. I look forward to browsing and working on some projects for the future and to save a little bit of money doing it as well. ]]> Introductions Kryptoroxx http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/greetings-japan-13210/ Hey Everyone! http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/hey-everyone-13207/ Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:02:21 GMT Hi I'm new my name is devin I'm from beautiful southern california lol.

I'm John from Illinois. Live in the western Chicago suburbs. Recently retired after 32 years as a cop. Have been interested in woodworking and construction in general all my life. Now that I have the time I'm putting together a little shop in my garage. Have a Unisaw, scroll saw, jointer, band saw, sanding station, lathe, etc, etc.
To get myself started I have been making wooden toys for my 1 1/2 year old nephew, using him as a guinea pig ! :smile: I find working on projects very relaxing although sometimes very frustrating. :censored:
Anyhow, I've lurked here for a couple of weeks now and decided to join. I think all the forums are great but I find the saw milling forum particularly fascinating.
Looking forward to contributing in any small way that I can. ]]> Introductions JohnK007 http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/another-illinoisian-13192/ Southern Illionis http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/southern-illionis-13190/ Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:53:02 GMT I've been building things for many years.

Just found this forum and WOW there is lots of outstanding work shown here! I can see I will be spending a bunch of time surfing around here to get used to the site.

My name is Dave Washburn and I live in Bloomfield, IN. My normal job, the one that pays the bills, is as an IT Manager. My passion is woodworking. I blew out my back in 2001 and it has gone downhill since then. I am to the point of doing just little woodworking projects, like turning on the lathe. I started a little business mainly turning pens, for now. Since I put up a website I have been a web designer more than a woodworker! Here are a couple pics of pens I have made.

I retired from the telephone company in 92 and started dabbling with making things for the wife to paint. She was taking lessons in tole painting and it was cheaper to make the things.

I dabble in making jewelry and I'm a prospector/miner. My dabbling in wood has turned into a small business making things for other decorative painters. I have bought things from venders that I can recommend and some I can't. You might say I am a straight cut person, which really means I don't have the patience to use a scroll saw, I leave that to the wife.

I have a lot of tools I have acquired over the years and still learning how to use them.

Thanks for this forum and the help people contribute to make the craft safer and fun craft to do. ]]> Introductions r49miner http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/thanks-help-everyone-provides-13080/ What a wonderful forum! http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f3/what-wonderful-forum-13074/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:54:05 GMT Hi, My name is Don and I live in Denver Colorado.
