I didn't see an official spot for this, but I suppose I'd like to introduce myself to the forum. I originally came across the forum from a "starting hand plane set" thread. As the title says, not only am I new to this specific forum, I'm new to woodworking in general. I'm building a very basic...

I am a retired guy, 57, who has a couple of hobby shops on my property. I am here to (hopefully) learn from the pros, and avoid costly mistakes. Among the many tools, is a Samson 510 CNC table. It is actually a plasma cutting table, but I have a router mounted where the plasma cutter would...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself, I found this forum on another wood-working site and I've been lurking and now I'm ready to post! I'm a pretty new DIYer and I'm excited to learn from everyone here who looks like they have a TON of experience. I'm pretty new but I've been doing...

I thought I'd introduce myself… I've been in the LJ forum for about two days. You all seem like a great bunch of folks. I'm 36 years old. I've been into carpentry and woodworking for about 16 years or so, but I've never really fine tuned any skills. Jack of all trades, you could say...

Hello everyone, my name is Michael Main. I am new here, and to woodworking as well. As a career I am a computer programmer and network administrator…but recently I have picked up the hobby of woodworking. It is something my father has always done, and always tried to get me to do. But like a...

Hello ladies and gents! My name is Trae and I affectionately call the southeast USA, Home. I'm a retired firefighter who also served honorably as a Marine during some pretty nasty times for our nation. I don't take myself too seriously so I hope you won't be offended when I use self deprecating...

Hi, I'm rejoining the forums after a several year hiatus. I haven't had any dedicated shop space for the last several years, but recently have been building out a portable (MFT/3 + track saw) setup, and joined a local maker space for CNC, jointer, planer, etc. I have a backlog of projects now...

Hello, my name is Papa Jeff and I am a sawdust addict. I'm 62 and have been doing woodworking as a hobby for about several years now. I am proof that if you want to bad enough you can find space to work. I converted my living room into a workshop. I live in a second-floor, one-bedroom...

Where I'm coming from - A non-woodworking introduction Well, I'm finally starting a blog. I've thought of doing so many times before in a couple of different contexts and never got around to it (at least not well enough to prevent me from deleting what I had previously posted). The one thing...

Introduction First off let me start by introducing myself. My name is John Gray, i'm currently 33 years old and live in Spencerport New York. I've been married to the love of my life for 7 years now and have 2 beautiful daughters (hence the title of my blog "3 girls and a woodworker"). I...

Introduction Well, I figured my first blog should be an introduction. I found Lumberjocks through the Wood Whisperer site. For the last couple of weeks I would check the site at work and home, starting to build what I can only now call an addiction. I finally signed-up because I felt that if I...

I didn't see any place on this forum to dedicated to introductions, so I thought I'd be polite and at least post something here letting y'all know how much I've enjoyed just lurking the past couple of months. The work, techniques, wealth of information, and the friendly atmosphere finally...

New Woodworking Blog Hello Fellow Woodworkers! Please allow me to introduce myself! My name is Lee and I am a woodworker. It has been three years since I first felt the obsession take hold and it gets stronger every day. The force is so strong in this one that I am now one year into a two...

Enter Stage Left The fasten seat-belts sign is on, please remain in your seats and buckle in…. Because I frankly have no idea where this is about to go. First, thanks to all for the warm welcomes to LumberJocks. As of this writing I am a 36 year old, 13 year married, father of a 2 (Boy 4 and...

Hello from a new member Hello, My name is Jeremy (firm cyber hand shake). This is my first blog entry for my account here at LumberJocks. Short intro. Please excuse my spelling. Spelling has been a struggle for me my whole life. A bit about my self. I was born in Marburg Germany, but have...

Intro Call me Dreek (a nickname given to me by my late brother; a name which I have not heard spoken aloud in probably 15 or 20 years.) I'm a semi-old guy who's just getting started in woodworking. After playing around with some brain-dead simple power-tool projects that served a purpose...
