I am trying to learn most aspects of woodworking. I just finished setting up my shop after disposing of some very old tools and getting some new ones.

I am retired, a grandfather for the first time, and a very novice woodworker and wood turner.

I want to learn, learn,learn and then learn some more.

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome! I am truly a newbie. I’ve built a deck, but have only recently started in woodworking. I found a guy locally that wanted his basement cleaned out. I purchased a table saw, drill press, band saw and router. I retired about a year ago and got a really good deal on all of the used equipment. It’s a Sears 3hp table saw with Mule accusquare. Sears 13” floor drill press, Ryobi 9” bandsaw, Ryobi belt/disc grinder; Craftsman digital router and 1.5hp regualr router, an RT1005se router table, a Craftsman 2.75 radial arm saw, a Ryobi scroll saw, a couple of blades, a bench grinder, a shop vac and some other stuff for $600.00. The table saw and drill press and radial arm saw are older, but in really good shape. I just hope I don’t break anything major, because I looked online and parts will be hard to come by!

Well anyway, thank you all for your warm welcome, and I hope I don’t irritate you all too much with my questions! :)

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

I am sorry to hear about your injury. That is a bummer. Keep us posted on how the surgery goes. I am hoping that you get back into the shop soon.
