    Bryant there are a few of us down here close together. I can think of 6 or 8 on a 100 miles. We meet sometimes and have coffee trade pieces of wood and kick William in the butt. Thats the fun part.
    Thank you for the comments and welcome.

    Hello from another Mississippi woodworker. I am new to woodworking and will be building in my garage as my 2 year old allows me to. I enjoyed checking out your projects and I am glad there are fellow woodworkers in the Jackson area.

    Hello fellow Mississippian,
    I myself am a hobby woodworker learning toward doing what I love to turn a dollar here and there in the future. I am also in education and enjoy the predictable hours for the most part. The Saturday's seem shorter and shorter in the "workshop" but I squeeze in every minute I can.

    Hope to here from you on your next project post soon.

    Dave. Thanks for the compliment on the Shaker table. Yes, the legs are done in the classic Shaker tradition in sliding dovetails. I worked out a jig that fits on to my old Craftsman lathe to do these. Took a little bit of effort to get it all setup but it saves a lot of time now when I want to do some more. Roger

    Thanks Dave. I have a friend that lives in Madison which I think must be near Jackson. Lots of good trees around there for making some interesting lumber.

    Well said Roger. The project develops from the sweat on your brow and the plan is in your head.

    Hi Dave. Many thanks for the compliment on my yarn swift. I guess good minds work in similar ways. My approach to building a lot of the projects I have done is the same as yours. Indeed, sometimes they do go off into directions that were not planned. It is my belief that this aides in the working with what you have. In my case, I mill and dry my own lumber so come up with some truly unique stock sometimes. That is what make hand craftsmanship unique.

    Hi Dave, and thanks for your nice comment on my box. In fact, I haven't been online so much lately so i have missed a lot of projects. Nowadays I see a lot of great projects that I don't comment on because there are just so many of them.

    I liked your projects, which I've now seen. they reflect good craftsmanship and they all looked unique to me. The one that stands out in my mind is the picture frame with the sailor. I really love that frame, and I don't usually get all that excited about picture frames.

    I don't really know the first thing about design, so I just let my heart decide. In spite of that, I, like others, place more value on original work, and so I am always hoping to do something a little different. Of course, this is a hit and miss process. Design is not necessarily proportional to the work put into a project.

    Hi there,
    Welcome to LumberJocks… I joined the site myself almost a year ago and will give you fair warning, this site is VERY ADDICTIVE, VERY EDUCATIONAL, and VERY FUN…. so sit back, enjoy the ride and learn from the other LJ's as they are a group of extremely talented people that are also very friendly…

    Enjoy your time here on LJ and pass the word to any of your woodworking buddies about us…

    Wisty
