Retired 02/2008. Taken up woodworking as a hobby. Absolute novice.
Learning as I go and finding out that wood is a very unstable material and unpredictable - just like my wife who thinks you can take any piece of wood and "voila" in 10 seconds you can have something Chippendale would have made! Oh by the way I am really a Brit who has been stranded is Texas for nearly 40 years, married to a small town Texas gal who is the custodian of her family's sacred bean recipe.
I have an interesting life.

Hello Roger,
Let me welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find this to be a rewarding and enriching part of your woodworking journey.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

Hey Roger! I just joined LJ today, too. And….I grew up on the Bosque River Ranch which is about halfway between Valley Mills and China Springs. That is a wonderful part of the world and I often wish I were there.
Welcome and I hope to see more of you & your woodworking/shop/etc.
good luck
