    Gary, Good to see you around. Good Luck with the house hunt, hope you are able to find something maybe a bit closer and can get some shop time again.

    Thanks, timjr! I'm still around. In fact, I just posted a long comment with pics over on PurpLev's blog. I'm often checking in on what folks are doing. I just have a nice job these days that's a bit far away, and which requires a lot of my time beyond the long commute, so I'm almost never out in the shop anymore. I'm working on finding a house right now, though, and one of the prerequisites - in fact, the biggest one - is that it has a very big space to devote to woodworking and wood/log storage! I'm eager to get back to it.

    Thanks for the heads up, Mr. Bureaucrat! I didn't realize it was so soon! I thought I had joined later in the year. How exciting :)

    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.

    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, 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.

    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.

    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 :)

    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
