    hahahha Purp, I will! I'm sailing on the waves of possibilities. I see you're a software engineer. I'm a chocolate chip cookie engineer, with a Ph.D. in chicken soup!

    hey PL-
    just joined: came across your posts on the bowling alley workbench as i came into two 4×4 sections of bowling alleys myself. i have been dying to get a desk for my home graphic design studio, but have been too short on cash to commission someone else to do the work.

    in any case, i wonder if you would be willing to fill me in on how you managed with your work on the bowling alley sections. i've read most of your blog posts, and am still a bit nervous to start. i'm not a woodworker, so i don't have a lot of the tools, or the know how. and frankly, the wood is too cool and i don't want to mess it up.

    send me a message-any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    I am now 73 years of age, and it is quite a number of years since I practiced Toolmaking. Amongst other tasks, I used to, in the `old` days, engrave, tediously, by hand & hand held `HSS graving tools,` (not hi-speed dentist type, air-driven type cutting tools) to make the tool steel dies used in the manufacture of Minted Currency Coins, for the Australian Mint & Internationally. My hands are now somewhat `shaky` and, I no longer possess my `high/variable` Lietz`Magnifiying spectacles that was used in the dim dark past for this type of work. So, after all that, I simply `wrote` the letters by hand, using a `water-proof` 0.1 mm pen, as used for writing on copy CD`s & DVD`s.

    Good to hear you have a new baby daughter on the way, or is she already here? I recently had my first little one. I love woodworking but also have a bunch of friends that do software engineering.

    Lev,
    Thanks for all your great info! You are a true asset to this site and those you choose to advise. I appreciated the video and got some good intel. I myself have 2 little ones 1 and 2, so getting the information without having to hunt it down is a great time saver and allows for us to do what we love…turning big rough boards into small pretty ones.

    Hi Lev!

    I joined this site today based on reading your stuff about the R4511. I just got one a few weeks ago, and have put it together, but haven't even gotten a chance to turn it on yet, as we just had our first baby, a girl - Isabella - on 4/3. So, saw had to take a lower place in my attention rankings…

    I should be getting back to working on my "about to be shop" section of my garage, and it's been cool reading your posts as I think we're in fairly similar stages/situations…

    Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and introduce myself…

    David

    Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

    God Bless
