Just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi to the group. Found this site and all the great information it contains and couldn’t help but join. :-)

I’m still a relative newbie to woodworking having only done it seriously for the last 5 years. I grew up in my fathers shop so I must have wood in my veins (and lungs) and it just took time for me to find a good spot to start up my own shop. Being 40 now I hope my son finds the same pleasure and escape in woodworking that I have over the last few years.

Guess I have been very lucky in finding a wife who understands and supports my addiction to tools and my shop. She makes sure that at least half of what comes out of it is for her but she doesn’t complain too much and hasn’t fainted over the price of a new tool in a long time.

Looking forward to getting to know you.

Thanks
Jim

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,

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.
