I use my Systems Engineering skills to pay for the use of my woodworking skills. I've worked in the information technology field about 15 years. My career transition was from being self employed as a general contractor where I did a lot of custom woodworking, cabinet making and furniture building, along with typical carpentry and building activities. Basically my hobby became my job and my job became my hobby.
At 54 years old I finally built myself a decent shop and began working more with hand tools and less with power equipment. I’m by no means a purest and still love my shaper, but sometime the quietness of a hand plane is soothing enough to not want to turn the planer on.

Welcome. You have found the right place for woodworking. A great group of people willing to help. Looking forward to see your projects and comments. Work safe in the shop and don’t forget to use pushsticks.

If all these welcomes are for me, then thank you all. I am new to woodworking although it is something I have wanted to do for years. So far I’m just making the worlds most expensive sawdust.
I hope to gain a little knowledge from your experience and maybe make it my own.
Look forward to talking to you all.
Thanks

Did some work in Austin. Did my dues on 6 st. It was nice enough to ride last weekend but I never got the bike out of the garage.
