Hello Jim,

Welcome to LJs. I hope that you will find this to be an exciting and informational aspect of your woodworking adventure.

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

Jim, welcome to Lumberjocks! It’s a great place with great people, and, oh yeah, there’s the woodworking! Have fun and work safe! :)

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.

WOW What a shop I do envey you, I wish woodworking could be my full time job. I have about 20 more years of plumbing before I can full time wood work.We do share the same passion for reading, I go thru withdrawls waiting for a mag to arrive sometimes, and can read a book cover to cover if it has the word wood in it.And there is not enough T.V. shows out there yet we need a 24 hour woodworking show,I think you might fit that bill Jim.I love your work and will look back for more later thanks

-- steve with Grains Of Passion woodworks

Hey there Pig Pen
I usually abbreviate some guys names but I couldn’t say hey PP or Hey Pig. Re my shop another 20 years I might get it figured out. I wish I could be polite an say iI wish I could have been a plumber the last 20 years but… well that’s tough work. I wish I could say i read all the books I get cover to cover but that would not be true. I like to read what i have not done or I’ll put a book mark in a book and find it 6 months later, But some books I’ll read it cover to cover more than once. Thanks for the complements and for being on my Buddie list I’m surprised how many are . I don’t know if I’m worthy with all the great talent here on LJs

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Hi Jim,
I’m new to this site also and just love it. People with various degrees of experience getting together and helping each other out. It’s just great.
I read a couple of comments you made and just knew that you were a woodworking instructor (confirmed later). I think teachers (especially those thet care) are the real heros in the world. Keep up the good work and good luck.

Thanks for the comment! Those mushrooms don’t take as long as you would expect, I’ve been doing this for about five years and have found ways to do things faster.

I didn’t get to welcome you before so here goes:

Welcome to LJ’s. We are here to help you with your woodworking endeavors. Feel free to ask for advise. But Be aware…this site can be very addictive…………LOL

And….......I can’t believe you said you were not addicted…...........LOL With that many routers, how can you not be addicted?

Thanks Jerry it’s about time :-))

-- Jim from Heirloom Woodshop Southern Oregon

Jim – thanks for the welcome. Great website you have there. My son is on here, goes by Shopmonkey. He got me started here, have learned alot already. I really enjoy working in our small shop with my son, I can tell from your website that you enjoy the time with your family also. What a great business you’ve created for yourself. If my son could make a living building furniture, he’d never work a day in his life. He just loves building things. He even has bulit his own sawmilll (check it out on here).

-- Dale in Bellevue, NE

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your kind comments on the platform bed and speakers! Since I’m new here I have an etiquette question for you. When someone leaves a comment about a project and isn’t asking for any specific informatioin in return (like your 2 comments), is it better to respond under the project or under the Home of the original poster? Thanks!

Hey Cremar
I would say what ever works best for you. But when I have a message that I just what an individual to view I send a PM(private message) under their home section and then send a message. Welcome to Ljs.

Prolific and Amazing.
Genuine congrats.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I Love your shop!

Hey very nice of patron to send a nice piece of rosewood, I look forward to seeing what you can do with it. I love free wood, a friend gave me a couple chunks of plum. The tree finally came down, it had some rotten spots, but also had a volleyball sized burl, I have started turning, but had to give it up for a few days, I put it in a paper bag so it doesn’t dry and crack. It is spectacular with wavy, curling grain, and beautiful pink/purple streaks. unbelievable. it had a rotten spot closer to the trunk, so I cut a slab of and gave that with good crazy color and grain to a guy who carves in flat wood, he too was thrilled. It is fantastic to give and receive, you just never know what you get and it is always a surprise. Post pictures when it is done.

Hey Jim! I want your shop! Looks like a fun place to spend countless hours tinkering. Also, all your projects look great. I can guarantee that some time I will need advice from one of you old timers…..ya’ll are usually the smartest people who talk in these forums. There is a ton of wisdom in this place! Anyways, keep on producing beautiful projects!

Hi Jim, thanks for taking the time to say welcome, and hello, same to you. Thanks again.

-- Your Job, or Your Country... the choice is yours

I’ll have to agree with many here, thanks for the welcome to LJ. It’s an honer to see a great craftsman like yourself even looking at my goofy stuff much less giving praise. I’m humbled as I look at your vast projects & think I should be so fortunate to have so many credits to display! You keep a fine shop too, If I could only work at home more than in the field maybe my shop would be better kept. Thanks for your enthusiastic participation here, from everyone I’m sure. From me for sure. Scott Ater Bonney Lake WA

G’day A1Jim, thanks for the interest in my rings. For a more detailed discription check out ‘Scrappys’ projects. It was his project that I saw some months ago and got the idea. I wish I knew how to post a link. But if you look up ‘segmented rings, without a lathe’, I’m sure you’ll find it.
Some months ago when I joined, you welcomed me to Lumberjocks, for this I thank you. It was a treat and pleased me, no end. Take care Mate, regards Hagrid.

I wish you a good week and the best of woodworking!
