I’m still around, I just haven’t finished anything lately. I’ve got 3 or 4 projects started and plans to start a couple more soon. I guess I should finish what I’ve started before I start something else.

Thanks for dropping me a line awhile ago. Coincidentily the same day I received your comment at my profile I happened to realize the reason why a project highlighted in WoodCraft Magazine looked so familiar was because it was yours. The cradle/glider looked as beautiful in print as on the website. Congrats.

Hi Karson;
I stopped by your flickr site this morning and see you’ve been busy; new page, new mini workbench and then there’s that picture of “the table top for the LumberJocks/ Popular Woodworking challenge”....good show!
Never heard of Goncalo Alves before so I had to go and do some reading, truly a premium and prime specialty of hardwood that you have chosen to use.
And as you also show at the bottem of that page, keep those ‘shaving curls’ coming!
GODSPEED,
Frank

Karson, per your last post on JerryL’s profile…
It’s MERGANSER - as in a kind of duck. It’s more of a play on words, though, because two of the most common types are the red breasted merganser and the hooded merganser. Per my red hair, I came up with Red Headed Merganser.

Thanks for the tip using walnut on shaker boxes. I have a bunch of walnut that I could turn into boxes if I had a better band saw. I might try cutting some small ones with my table saw now that you mention I could use it.

Karson, I was going through my buddy list and realized I had not read any of the profiles of my buddies so I thought I’d get started. Yours is interesting. I too have closed a few plants in my time. 3 to be exact. One foundry and 2 drop forges. Hard hot work I never enjoyed. In between layoffs I’d always try to find a job doing carpentry work. I loved working outside, the feeling of accomplishment you got when you were done, not being black and greasy when you left work. But I could never afford my own tools to do the kind of wood working I wanted to do. Now I do and my back is so messed up it’s hard to enjoy sometimes. You sure are know ledgable about many things wood, computers, and gosh knows what else. After talking with you I found you an easy person to like and wish we lived closer, in fact, I wish that for a lot of us, we’ve gotten so close. Anyway I’m glad you’re my friend, any kudos I get from you are sincere, I know, and heartfelt, and I appreciate the advice I have gotten from you. Jockmike2

Welcome to LumberJocks. Enjoy the community.
You can comment on people’s projects, blog and forum entries.
Typically people use the blog to describe what they are upto or to track their progress on a project.
Forums are used to ask questions, share information or have general discussions.
The project area is used to show finished projects. You can upload photos directly from your computer. It allows you to upload 3 photos. There are instructions on how to do it when you create a new project.
As far as adding photos to your post, click on the link “pictures and videos friendly” and read the information there. People typically use a free photo hosting site such as http://flickr.com. to share their non-project photos. Ask a question in the forum area if you need any more help.
Take Care,
Wayne

Thank you Greg.
That site sounds familiar to me so I am sure I have been there and checked on things. You mentioned for me to check with Gene. I don’t have a last name for him and would not know how to get an email to him or a post. I do have four clock PDF’s downloaded on this subject all from the same site. Some very nice buildable ones there but I can only pick one for now. I’m not sure of the type of hard woods to use although the gentlemen who designed them said beech wood. I see I have a lot to learn about these things. I’ve been doing so much research I haven’t got any time to see about the wood. Take care and thanks for the welcome. Makes a guy feel good.

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.
