Thanks for the gracious welcomes, everyone. You know, WoodRat, cheesecake is good, but it doesn’t travel well. How about a photo of cheesecake?

Welcome, I think you will enjoy working in wood. I hope you have a good area to work in ( shop ) I don’t know what kind of projects you plan to make, I personally think one of your first tool investments should be a good table saw. Check out “Grizzly” tool for some reasonably priced table saws and no matter what you get always go for the 220V if possible. The rest of your power tool selections will be decided by what you plan to specialize in. If you are married, your wife will be making that decision for you. ( Just kidding ) Good luck on your endeavers and stay safe. Bob Allen

hey mack it is in colorado, we love working wood out here, very little movement in your pieces.

Thanks for more welcomes. It’s nice that you all have such an amicable attitude. And thanks Steve-o for checking out my web site, and thanks also for the complement.

By the way, Karson, the good thing about my cheesecake is, if you didn’t get enough the first time, you can go back and see it again.

Bob, thanks for the advice. It suggests to me that I ought to post something somewhere about my somewhat unusual shop situation. I work in a shared shop, where we pay a membership fee rather than rent, and we use communal machinery. It has its advantages and disadvantages, but I’m coming to understand that it really is pretty unusual. I’ll try to find the right place to describe it more thoroughly, because I think it could be an interesting thing to talk about.
