Hello!

[LeeNC]

First, a little about my woodworking.
I am a relative novice to woodworking. Most of my time so far has been casework for storage in the garage and a workbench. My current project is a platform bed for my youngest son. I have built more jigs than I have projects so far. It is the engineer in me. Between my other two hobbies, volleyball and cooking, a family and a house it seems that there is only limited time in my life right now for woodworking. But that is ok. I am enjoying learning more about woodworking from books and lurking around here and WoodNet.

More about me.
I live in the Cornelius, NC. I am married and we have two boys ages 3 and 5. I am an engineer. I went to FSU ccasion1for undergrad and USC:eusa_danc (here on the Ease Coast) for my masters.

I never cease to be amazed at the generosity of people on these forums with both their knowledge and time to help out a fellow woodworker. :eusa_clap

Welcome, great bunch of folks here, as you have probably heard pics are VERY popular. Personally I would like to see your garage casework since I am currently furnishing my garage/workshop :wsmile:

Welcome Lee,

Glad to have you. I'm pretty new here too and also relatively new to woodworking. To me that is very interesting that you've spent most of your time building jigs so far. I've pretty much done the opposite. I started with a handsaw with miter box and a power drill and have gradually worked up and bought whatever tools I needed (could afford) for each subsequent project. Up to this point it has been one big learning experience and I have a feeling there is no end in sight. ;-) Anyway, this is definitely a great group. Glad to have you and I can't wait to see some of your work. :eusa_clap

Lee,

Welcome to the best sawdust pile anywhere on the net. Doesn't really mater whether you're building projects or jigs... long as you're building... and having fun.

Welcome, Lee. You've found a great place to share problems, answers and projects! There are lots of good people around here. the "LOTS" part means there will be very little you can ask that someone hasn't already run into and has a real-world answer for!

 

[woodArtz]

Welcome to the forum! Jump right in the water's fine.

 

[skysharks]

Yes by all means welcome to the group.
I envy folks that have an engineering type mind.
I am in need of some jigs but for some reason they escape the way by brain functions. ( did that make sense?):gar-La;

 

[Will Goodwin]

Hey Lee! Welcome to NCWW. The people are friendly, the knowledge is plentiful and so are the jokes. :wwink:

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work (PICS PICS PICS) ... as I haven't built any jigs yet - still new to woodworking, I look forward to learning from you.

Will

Hey Lee and another welcome to the group.

Hi Lee, and welcome to NCWWer :icon_thum
I, too, am engineering and woodworker challenged. :nah:
Just makes me prouder when I succeed :icon_chee

Also great to have another vb player on board. I've been playing spring to fall on Wednesday nites for almost 20 years :eusa_danc

cya,
Roger

Thanks for the warm welcomes. I will snap a few pics this evening and most likely post tomorrow after I read the threads on how to post them.

Welcome Lee. I guess I'll vote to let someone from that 'girl's school' in Tallahattchi in.
