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

Hi Lev!
I joined this site today based on reading your stuff about the R4511. I just got one a few weeks ago, and have put it together, but haven’t even gotten a chance to turn it on yet, as we just had our first baby, a girl – Isabella – on 4/3. So, saw had to take a lower place in my attention rankings…
I should be getting back to working on my “about to be shop” section of my garage, and it’s been cool reading your posts as I think we’re in fairly similar stages/situations…
Anyway, just wanted to say hi, and introduce myself…

Lev,
Thanks for all your great info! You are a true asset to this site and those you choose to advise. I appreciated the video and got some good intel. I myself have 2 little ones 1 and 2, so getting the information without having to hunt it down is a great time saver and allows for us to do what we love…turning big rough boards into small pretty ones.

Good to hear you have a new baby daughter on the way, or is she already here? I recently had my first little one. I love woodworking but also have a bunch of friends that do software engineering.

I am now 73 years of age, and it is quite a number of years since I practiced Toolmaking. Amongst other tasks, I used to, in the `old` days, engrave, tediously, by hand & hand held `HSS graving tools,` (not hi-speed dentist type, air-driven type cutting tools) to make the tool steel dies used in the manufacture of Minted Currency Coins, for the Australian Mint & Internationally. My hands are now somewhat `shaky` and, I no longer possess my `high/variable` Lietz`Magnifiying spectacles that was used in the dim dark past for this type of work. So, after all that, I simply `wrote` the letters by hand, using a `water-proof` 0.1 mm pen, as used for writing on copy CD`s & DVD`s.
