3316 posts in 651 days Location: Clovis Ca. I was born in Fresno California 1961I began woodworking at age 7 my grandfather taught me many basics at age 13 I began woodworking in shop class at Fort Miller junior high school I made many projects my shop teachers told me that I was by far more advanced and they were going to let me build projects to my level in school I continued taking shop classes including wood and metal through high school. In 1979 I joined the United States Marine Corps I did several tours of duty including some overseas in the Philippine Islands’ was a jet mechanic in the Marine Corps and enjoyed working with my hands. in the early 90s I was able to afford lots of tools and began my workshop my friend Daniel Carter and I formed this old workshop.com and did several tool reviews over the years since I have a background in mechanics I understand tool quality and with my background in woodworking and metallurgy I was very well-qualified to do these reviews. 15 years ago I became very active in the wood magazine forum and remained active until about two years ago when I had a major health issue and almost died this year feeling a little healthier and having a great desire to return to my wood shop I joined this forum because it is not a magazine forum i am also allowed to say that i am a writer for this old workshop.com -- when I am not on Lumberjocks I am on @ http://thisoldworkshop.com where we allow free speech Latest Activity | view all »

RE your question about the progress on my shop. You know how life has a habit of interfering with your plans? Remember your before pictures when you were just beginning to set up your shop. Mine is kinda still in that stage. I have been collecting tools and the wiring is in, but there are just too many dominoes that have to fall into place to make some real progress. I had to stop and built new fence on my ranch (very expensive by the way) and I am still having the new living quarters built in the barn. This means all the stuff gets moved from place to place in order to get any work accomplished. So while I might not be at my destination, I am enjoying the journey. And, if I have to drag projects outside to work on them, that works out ok as it seems it never rains in South Texas that much anymore.
