Retired Valuer. I have a well equiped garage sized workshop & am interested in most woodworking projects. No formal training other than weekend work with a carpenter friend a few years ago & work in a sawmill when I was a teenager. Enjoy small & large projects.

Thanks for the welcome Todd. The nickname started when the grand kids came along. My son thought it was a bit of a joke to call me Grumpy (instead of Gramps or Pop etc) & it stuck.

Thanks for the welcome. I’m a member of many online communities and this is the first time I’ve had so many different people actually welcome a new member. I’ve only recently discovered the site and I’ve already found it very useful for a novice woodworker. This site seems like a fantastic community and I can’t wait to join in with questions, projects and someday insight.

Thanks,

Pat

Thanks much, Grumpy – All I have right now is a new Bosch 4100 contractor saw, drill press, lathe, miter saw and REALLY cheap router table (not even flat!). So my garage shop is still a “baby” and competes with to Suzuki Burgman touring scooters and a mini-van. But not a bad start from just the miter saw before April! I’m slow, my work is not pretty, and according to my wife – those aren’t my woodworking skills!! But I’m having fun so far!!
