Welcome Jim! You have found the right place for woodworking. A great group of people willing to help. Looking forward to see your projects and comments. Your statement ‘finding a wife who understands and supports my addiction to tools and my shop’ tells me you had your prioriities right when you were looking for a wife. Have fun and work safe.

Hi Jim and welcome aboard. I grew up with a workshop underneath us in a 2 story building and once you get that taste of sawdust in your throat you know your in heaven. lol

Hi Jim,

Welcome again to LJs. You must have a gem of a wife if she doesn’t blanch at the cost of tools. But she does sound a lot like mine (and probably most of the others here as well) in that her priorities become #1 and the list never grows any shorter. I just wish I could bill mine for the work, maybe then I would have the incentive to get it done fast enough to suit her since I always tell her I am not being paid by the hour. :)

I am looking forward to seeing some of your posts.
