114 posts in 467 days Location: Stillwater, Minnesota I've had a deep interest in working with wood ever since I was knee-high to a table saw. My dad, his dad, and my Grandpa's brother were all three carpenters in the same business in our small hometown in Minnesota. My dad's first house was built by him and my Grandpa in 1948, and my wife and I currently reside there. In 1999 we took that house out of 1948 and gave it a nice facelift. Our full basement used to be my dad's shop for work and play...and is now my wood shop. It's approx. 26 X 36. When it was my dad's shop it had 4 outlets and 3 light bulbs, and was shared with my mom as a laundry area as well. It's now quite a bit brighter and has an outlet about every 6-8 feet. Plus it has heat, insulation, TV, and this thing that probably won't last long called the internet. :) It's stocked with lots of neat tools, many species of wood, and a full-blown Oneida 2HP/220v dust collection system. Nearly all of my wood shop items were paid for by building and selling 115 of Norm's adirondack chair, tables, and footrests. -- If at first you don't succeed...DO NOT try skydiving.

Wow, thanks everyone. What a nice welcome. I’ve been reading LJs for quite a while, and decided to finally join in on the fun late last night. Waking up to all of your comments this morning was a very pleasant surprise. I have lots to share with all of you, and I’m looking forward to learning even more things about my favorite hobby.
Dale.

Welcome to LJ’s.
Beware that the more time you’re here online….............the less time you’ll be in your shop!
Good luck and I look forward to see more of your work in the future.
