Ciao my fellow woodworkers,
I started using a hammer at the age of 5. I remember this because i hit my poor cousin Paolo in the head with a claw hammer. He still has the mark on his forehead. He bit me, and also left a mark, so i guess we are even. The crazy things we do when we are kids eh? LMAO. To this day, I still feel the excitement when I am woodworking. I enjoy designing projects with AutoCAD, then creating them. From the first thought, to sketching, to the actual design, the whole thought process; the drive to the lumber yard, selecting the materials, setting up, cutting, and shaping all the pieces, to the finish, is all one big party in my head. ( One nice ice cold Heineken "when the work day is over" is always nice - sometimes ) The bonus is the reaction when someones says....Where did you buy this? I love it when they are speechless. You know what i mean. You know how it feels. It's great right? There are a lot of projects on this website that are truely awesome, and I'd love to build a few of them, one day I will. The ones I cannot build are the artistic pieces, I'm not a carver, nor sculpture, so those creations leave me speechless. The "Tumba Tumba Rocking Chair" That guy is amazing. It's a nice ride we are on, the best part, is that it's never going to end. There is always something to learn, and techniques we've never seen. When i see something new, i say to myself, wow-that's a great idea. i can't wait to go try it the next day. Those nice jigs to make our lives easier are our blessings. To make sure that this is true for me, I ALWAYS treat tools, and especially the tablesaw with 100% respect. That router switch is pretty dangerous to. I have all my fingers, and I intend to keep it that way. I really enjoy viewing all the projects on this website. Thank you for reading, Gino.

Hi there,
Welcome to LumberJocks… I joined the site myself a few months ago and will give you fair warning, this site is VERY ADDICTIVE, VERY EDUCATIONAL, and VERY FUN…. so sit back, enjoy the ride and learn from the other LJ’s as they are a group of extremely talented people that are also very friendly…
Enjoy your time here on LJ and pass the word to any of your woodworking buddies about us…

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
