Hello PurpLey,

Let me welcome you to LJs. I hope that you will find this to be an exciting and rewarding part of your woodworking journey.

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

Thanx Scott, It’s a really nice outlet to express, share, and mingle with other’s that share the same passion, and interest.

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…

Purplev: Happy Anniversary! By my calculations, you will have been a Lumber Jock for 1 year tomorrow, May 30th. I enjoy reading your posts and blogs. Thanks for being a part of this and keep on posting!

-- Gary, South Central Wisconsin. So much to learn, so little time!

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.

I was just checking out some of your projects…very nice pieces

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.

Thanks Purplev. This site is good company!
