Welcome to Lumber Jocks! This is a great place to get – or give – advice about woodworking on the forums and the project posts are a wonderful source of new ideas. I love this site, I hope you will enjoy it to.

Look forward to seeing your projects and posts.

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

Welcome to LJ’s from your friends over the pond

Thanks, everyone! So much love!

Also, warnings unnecessary. I am a member now for ~10 hours, and COMPLETELY ADDICTED. Man, the warning should be part of the URL on this place. Something like lumberjocksWARNINGEXTREMELYADDICTIVE.com. Kids: Don’t try it! Not even once!

Alright, I’m taking all of your advice right now. Gonna go joint some maple and walnut, rip some edge banding off each, cut out my 19”x19” maple glue-up for a little lazy susan project (one of my very first ‘orders’), and see which edging I like better wrapped around it. Thanks for welcoming me, and for kicking me out again so I can get something done!

Oh, and Todd, thanks for the video welcome. What service!

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

Thanks, Jed and Tom! You guys, and this whole site are great.

-- Gary, Los Angeles, video game animator

I totally dig the enthusiasm, my man! Welcome aboard. :)

-- Adventure? Heh! Excitement? Heh! A Woodworker craves not these things!

HOORAAAY! Thanks, WoodSpanker.

I am pretty enthused, ever since finding this site. I think I’d bored all my ‘normal’ friends (computer nerds) to death with my endless talk of joinery techniques and wood dust recycling tactics. I couldn’t believe there was a forum of over 8000 people who want to hear me go on about those things, and who also do this on a regular basis in their own lives :)

-- Gary, Los Angeles, video game animator

...and welcome from another Jed up on your high desert area! There is much knowledge here and it goes in all directions!

-- Never board, always knotty, lots of growth rings

I found your life story very interesting, I wish I had your computer talents. I invent things, but I’m afraid that when I was in high school, the yellow tape with holes punched in it, that told the computer what to do, was not all that exciting to me. Your desires in the self sufficient area are much like my own, and plan to be off the grid in the near future. Would like to talk with you more. You might want to go to my last project and in the comments section, I answered a guys question, and gave a long posting on stone work. I included at the bottom of that, 2 links to an invention I came up with about 2 years ago. They’re videos on youtube. Talk with you later.

-- Dan Wiggins

Gary, A belated welcome. I too was planning to head to the special effects arena out of high school with background in robotics and electronics. But alas computers took over. So instead I became a Jack of All Trades and it has served me well, comes in quite handy now as a park ranger. Looking forward to seeing more of your projects and blogs.

Thanks to Kindlingmaker and Dan for your welcomes! Dan, I’ll have to check out the post you mentioned. I would have earlier, but I guess I missed the update here. I’m definitely interested in invention, and have often referred to myself as an inventor, perhaps not exactly deservingly :) I see we had a patent attorney respond to the jobs post recently, and my interested was piqued.

Chris – Thanks, and it’s cool to hear you had some EE and robotics background. Ever dabble in it anymore? I have an electronics bench setup here with a couple years of dust on it. I’m hoping some day I have the motivation to get back to it, but I’m over in a different few areas for awhile, I guess. I do have some ideas that would tie computers, electronics, and woodworking back together for me – invention/toy type stuff. Should be fun, if I ever manage it.

-- Gary, Los Angeles, video game animator

Thank You! I’m really excited about this site, it looks like I”ll be able to learn a lot here!

I’m flat out envious of your beard! I can’t grow hair on the top of my head like that. Cool to see you animate video games. I just got the new uncharted game after my friend said it had some of the best graphics. It’s fun but I have not had much time to play it.
