At 76 I am a child of the previous generation because my father, who, as a fourteen year old, fought in the so called "Boer War" 1899_1902 (Even though the English came 6000 miles to fought us) fathered me when he was 52 , so please bear with me when the vernacular of the conqueror does not exactly convey what I really meant. Your conclusion that I am a "Boer" is fair. After our retirement from active farming, the wife and me,(always remember the sequence) are still living on the farm where we started in 1961. I never did any real woodwork till about ten,fifteen years ago. Initially the inspiration just came from literature but once we gained access to the Internet via satellite and a friend introduced me to Lumberjocks a whole new world, as if I am transported to Sawdust Outerspace, opened for me. Thank you for every contribution I saw and read. It motivated me to build solid wood furniture, that will last for the next generation, for every one of our four children. I am fortunately unashamedly addicted to woodwork. I have enough wood to last me up to 90. After that I will see what next.

Welcome to Ljs a world wide community were there are great people,super projects and great woodworkers.Enjoy !
Because I often get asked questions by new members I’ve included the answers to the most( FAQ) along with my welcoming message to LJs.
You should know that posting questions or projects here (your profile page) will not get you very many responses’ just because it’s your profile page not part of a main forum. To post in a main forum read below.
Want to know how to post something?
See the drop-down box underneath my Lumberjocks in the upper right hand corner. Click on the arrow and select which type of posting you want to make (Project, Blog entry, Forum topic). This will take you to the appropriate page and you just fill in the form.
