Hello everybody,
My name is Henrie Schumacher (schummie) I'm 45 years old, I'm married whit a lovely wife and I have 3 great kids ( 9, 13, 17) and 2 dogs.
I was a police officer for 25 years till 8 years ago, I hate a accident during my policework and after 8 operation and a lot off hospitals I'm now so far that they call my handicapped.
During the operations the saw that my right knee was a mace and the can’t do anything about it and after the operation the doctors discover that I have also posttraumatic dystrophy, a pain syndrome in my nerve system.
Now I’m lying 85% off the day on my bed because off the pain. I have a lot off pain medication also a lot off morphine.
I hate to say it my there is less or nothing left off my life, I have my wife and my children but else . . . .
In the time before my accident i love to work whit wood, only the smell off wood brought me in higher atmosphere. I’m also a tool fanatic, i love tools.
Only is the Netherlands not really a woodworking country, if you now that we don’t have any woodworking magazine.
This country is more if we need something we buy it, we don’t try it to make it our self.
Therefore I'm now on this GREATH website, I love it.
I hope the learn a lot and maybe I get the chance to make something myself.
We want to try to make from our garage a woodworking shop, the I can make the little time i have, a little useful.
I’m searching in all the American woodworking toolshops off there is something I can use ( and can afford) and there is a lot.
Thank you for reading my little story. Sorry for my English, perhaps is there somebody how want to make a good translation.
Henrie Schumacher

Hi Schummie,
Welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be a rewarding and educational aspect of your woodworking adventure.
-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

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.

Hello Jeanmarc,
thanks for your reply and your great Dutch words. There are things I understand in your story but not
everything. I don’t now what “marqueterie” means.
But you make beautiful things, you’re really a master in woodworking.
I’m very brutal but have you see my cry for help, see http://lumberjocks.com/topics/3522#reply-37596
maybe can you help me in the further. How lives woodworking in France, are by you a lot off real woodworking stores?
Thanks for youre nice words,
Saluer Schummie

Hi Schummie, thanks for sharing your story.
Ik heb zelf ook uit Nederland. En ik ben hierheen verhuised in 1982.
I saw a blog from Martin, how Al is helping with a fundraiser. This is very nice from Al.
Where in Holland do you live?
Keep us posted.

Schummie, Your english is infinitely better than 99.999% of our Dutch. I have been to your great country and enjoyed my visits very much. I spent time visiting Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Masstricht. We would all love to see you working again and will pray that happens.

thanks you for your kind words, the next time your in the Netherlands come for
a cup off coffee. I live near the windmills from Kinderdijk and maybe I can let you see
a lot off windmills on a row.
I hope it cone happens, that I can do some woodworking, first a good day and
some handtools.
Michael, thanks again, your a good person.
Schummie.
