Welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be an enjoyable woodworking experience.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Welcome to LumberJocks! Enjoy yourself.

Welcome to LJ. You will like it here.

Welcome to Lumber Jocks. I got off a train once in Burlington and hitchhiked to Salem to pick up my car. That was in the ‘60’s and I was rodeoing all over your country. Also once, on a family vacation we camped in the city park and got sprayed for mosquitos. I DO remember Burlington. LOL Have fun here it is a great place.

Hi Gene & Gregory

Thanks for the welcome! People seem to forget how many blessings they have. There was one time in my life when I lost a lot of money and material things. It brought me closer to God, my family and had my health. I am the richest man in the world! Those Grand-kids are priceless! Have a great Day!

Where in North Dakota? I ranched in western South Dakota for 23 years. I sure miss the hunting. I never had the chance to go Elk hunting, but I did get a .270 with that in mind. I put in for New Mexico this year, but didn’t draw.

is there a way to place sound clips on one’s blog

-- Yanky, pateince is everthing.

Thank you for your warm welcome! Hmm, woodworking and archery hunting, you’re talking about things that I like. The LOML drew a special either sex Elk tag for the Elkhorns outside Helena MT last year. He spent a week up there during rifle season and got so disgusted with rifle hunting that he vowed never to hunt again until we get him his replacement bow (which is on hold for a few more years, or until we get the wood shop set up for year round woodworking). Here’s hoping to drawing the tags you want and getting the project that you are working on done.

Thanks for the welcome.

-- Steve - kingwood, Texas

Thank you for your welcome.
Yes during odd hours I spent 2hrs just reading and watching… they are ways of learning too.
Beautiful heirloom, I like it. I’ve been salvaging pellete boards to build a blanket chest. Just started handplaning with care so as not to bite hiden brad.

Wish you all the best.

Thank you for the comments. The G0555 Grizzly bandsaw is a great saw. I’ve had mine now for about three years. I did not buy the riser block until about a year ago. After buying I wish I had went ahead and got from the beginning. I added a 24” x 24” table to mine to give me a larger work surface. If you go with the riser block go ahead and get the Carter tension spring for it. You will need it. I have cut just about everything you can cut with it. I splint 11” diameter logs for my father bowls. If you need some close up pictures of anything on it let me know, and I’ll send you a copy. Thanks again, and we’ll talk to you soon.

Tom, thanks for the comments,

Man your shop is really looking good, I wish I would have went with the cyclone.

My last shop was the same size as yours and it worked for 19 years. My wife and I produced some really large projects there. It is amazing what you can get accomplished once you put your mind to it.

Woodworkers are truly resourceful creatures.

thanks for the welcome

-- Nathan, Wisconsin

Thanks much – I’ve already seen some projects that are amazing. WAY beyond me, but I hope to learn!

Tom, Thanks for the welcome and you are correct, it is very addictive! Its also very good for your self esteem, loads of encouragement, what else can you ask for. I see you enjoy drywall work as much as I do from looking at you workshop photos, if you ever do anymore of that, try swapping the sandpaper for a damp tile sponge, no dust and very slick joints.

Hi Tom,
I’ve thought about that when I began to build. My corner base cabinet is dry fitted and screwed only. I’m going to do my finishing and final construction in my living room (I’m single, and have lots of room, and no one to challenge me) (Life is good)
I still have a long way to go though, but with the kind and talanted help and support from everyone on this forum, things should be absolutely a blast to do !

God bless you also Tom,

Paul

My husband hunts too. I think it’s cool. Don’t know a whole lot about it, I don’t think we have Elk in missouri. He hunts deer. And he bow hunts too. I wish he woould go more often, ha,ha.

-- Janice

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the Welcome….......appreciated.
I like the Fire Truck…......Cool.
Made a wooden truck for my son out of scrap timber…..........turned out to be a major project with all the machine work that went into the suspension, steering, drop axles etc.
Cheers,
Splinterman.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

Thanks for the welcome, I hope to figure this site out more fully and enjoy all of the projects posted here.

Thank you for the welcome, Tom. I’ve already spent hours poring through the project pages here and they are indeed inspiring. I see you’re from Iowa, I actually grew up in Waterloo and went to college in Iowa City.
