All,
As glad as I am to have found this hobby, I’m equally glad to have found this group.
It’s doubtful that anybody here (who can walk upright, rather than swing through trees) is any newer at this than I am.
I’m hopeful that I can give back … in some small way … by… telling this little story….

Our hobbies are like our relationships. If—like me—you’ve been with the same wonderful spouse for a while, then you kno...

I received today my prize for winning fifth place in the Summer 2009 LumberJocks contest.
I wish to thank Major League Woodworking
The prize consisted of a T shirt ”Property of Major League Woodworking Shop Dept”, A Maple Mallet which is modeled after a Baseball Bat. It’s made from an approved bat billet and is made at one of the countries premier baseball bat factories.
Also a Maple Marking Gauge for giving a perfect ”base line” for starting woodworking...

Well I’m back home, but I don’t feel very Bionic. The surgery went fine. it took about 75 minutes. I was asleep the whole time (At least I don’t remember anything)
The pain wasn’t bad, I’ve taken myself off pain relievers after 1 day. I had a dull pressure pain, not a sharp one. There is not any real pain as of now. It’s a little sensitive to the touch (So don’t touch it)
No showers for 7 days, but I guess I won’t be running any marathons ...

Looking at the stats, it’s been 356 days. and a whole lot more of a woodworking since day 1.
The passion is still going strong, but the shared experiences and information that has flown around has added so many new abilities and capabilities. I want to thank everyone that ever responded to any of my questions in person, or indirectly by asking questions on the forums, that I had in my mind as well, or answered those.
there are many opinions between the 10K members, some share the ...

Like the title says, this entry is simply to publicly say thanks to someone who went out of their way to do me a favor. I read on a post this board by TFKeefe (Tom) in which he mentioned his modified bench top table saw and a ZCI that he had made for it.
Since I also own a similar bench top saw and have always mourned the lack of ZCI plates for it, I questioned Tom about his. He was kind enough to provide me with pictures of how he had made his. As it turned out our saws are not exactly al...

Great work guys on all the projects you turned out. Just amazing work. Gary you deserved first place. Wonderful projects. That birdcage looked pretty tedious. Also Mr. Stewart your chair is a piece of art. Made for the little people no doubt. All the projects showed ceativety and excellence. Kudos to all. I’m in awe of many of the projects. So much talent in one place. What a gallery. I was surprised that some projects did’nt get many votes, and others got so many, thats what made...

Dis-Membered Barkin’ on a Pine Slab
....ended my day the other evening removing some more bark from a pine slab I’m trying to get dried out, in the faster then usual manner since this is one I want to start workin’ on around January. Much of my time spent outside now is divided between cutting new trees for next year, cutting slabs for future furniture and ‘wood art’ that has to be processed for drying a year to two years down the road. While then finding the ...

What a three months it has been since I stumbled onto an online community called LumberJocks. I leafed through the project pages amazed at the craftsmanship of this group. I began to question whether or not I was worthy to join this group. Did I have any knowledge, ability or skill to share?
Like Sparta, facing the hords, I was afraid that like so many forums you find disagreement met with hostility and unsupported bias. Projects lacking for whatever reason not met with constructive c...
