Location: NoWis
Website:
I just turned a half century young. Been married forever. Two children, two grandsons, two cats, two acre garden, one motorcycle, 4 tractors, lots of old iron equipment, 60 wooded acres, trout stream, 6000+ BF lumber and my woodshop used to be my garage. I have cherry, soft maple, hickory, white birch, elm, poplar, white ash, black ash, red oak, tamarak and spruce. All was cut here at my home, and is under a woodshed 24 x 36. I was very suprised to find some curly cherry, hickory, soft maple and black ash after I had the logs sawn. Gotta find the right project for that stuff! I got room for about 2000 more feet and plan on getting some cedar and whatever else I can get my hands on.
If it wasnt for my son starting to buy some woodworking equipment years ago, I'd never have started up woodworking again.
I always loved woodworking since highschool. I still have my first projects that I made. When I get bored or need time away from a project, I usually copy the little shaker table I built way back then. I've made tons of them out of many different types of wood, and only sold one. All my friends and family have little tables! I also donate them to benefits and charities. If I can find someone to make packing material specifically for the table parts, I'd make more and ship them out. If anyone knows how to go about this, or know anyone who has contacts to do this, drop me a line.
I would also like to let everyone know that I am in no way, shape or form an expert or professional woodworker. 'Advanced beginner' at best. If woodworking ever becomes a chore for me, I will sell my equipment and buy a new tractor to play with.
Ive only been on here two days and am just beginning to meet some very nice people. Just about the time I think I'm spending too much time on the computer, along comes Lumberjocks!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Thanks to everyone for the nice welcome!
I’m still learning things on how to post some pics here. Have a few projects I’d like to show you. And a few questions of ‘how to’.
The pictures that I have seen here are almost an overload of inspiration for my next project! I am humbled at the abilities of others to do such fine quality work.
