768 posts in 475 days Location: North Idaho I am a 70 year old retired Ironworker. In 2003 my wife and I moved from Texas to the Northern regions of the Idaho panhandle. We bought 11 wooded acres, cleared enough trees for our home site, then set about building it. For the first time I have a dedicated (heated) shop in which to practice and hone my rudimentary woodworking skills. Although I have built high rises, banks, hospitals, bridges, etc. in my career I never considered myself a woodworker. I am still in the process of gathering tools which I find in garage sales, Craigs list, Ebay, or thrift stores. But what I really enjoy is the challenge of making tools rather than buying them. I have made a 14" bandsaw, 23" thickness (drum) sander, and a pantorouter so far. (See my LJ projects) My projects take forever because if I see the need for a tool or a jig that I don't have I will stop and make it. I am glad to be a part of the Lumberjock community. You guys inspire me with your talent. -- Lee~"If the women don't find you handsome, at least they ought to find you handy"~ Red Green Latest Activity | view all »

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome to Lumberjocks. I will get acquainted with the website format and then post some pictures of projects I have completed. I am a relative novice to woodworking but I love it. I would rather build a tool than buy one.
I am also a fan of Matthias Wandel, creator of the woodgears website. I have built his bandsaw and am now working on the pantorouter.

Hey Red, thanks for the welcome! We’ve gotten a bunch of donations this offseason (this is the first year of the program) and so far we have a delta shopmaster tablesaw, compound miter saw, router, jigsaw, and hopefully a circular saw. Right now I’m thinking of camp-y projects like benches, picnic tables, and birdhouses, but I’m open to any and all ideas.

Thanks for the welcome and appreciate my work. Long sought a place to display the things I’ve done since I started this hobby. The tools and resources are not available but somehow still looking for ways to get ahead. Thank you.
Greetings ..
