Hello

[SID2]

I am new to this group. I have been reading and looking for awhile but never posted. I am not very skilled but have "fooled with wood" most of my life. I hope in time I have something to say, but will keep reading for the time.

Hi Sid,

Welcome to the group. All of us here just fool with wood... although there are a couple of folks in this group that do some pretty impressive fooling. Feel free to join in any of the posts or discussions with either question or comment. I'm sure you'll find this a great place.

Hi there, Sid!!

Welcome to the site. I too recently retired and just started to "fool with wood". These guys and gals turn out some pretty spectacular work, here in NC. You will find everyone to be very courteous and always willing to share their own thoughts and experiences when it comes to making sawdust.

Have fun and post often!

Welcome. Don't worry about your skills. Find some plans for something you'd like to make and go for it. A little research and some trial and error and before long other people will ask you for help. Good luck!

Warm welcome Sid :-D

Wood keeps making a fool out of me, but I consider that part of the challenge. I'm not sure how much I've progressed in the last year, but the folks here have kindly provided volumes of great info.

Hope you enjoy the site as much as I have :mrgreen:

Welcome to NCWW Sid. I am glad you could join us. What sort of projects do you like to work on when your "fooling with wood"?

Thanks for the welcome. I am just getting my shop set up and hope to start work on a small project soon. Thanks for the offers of help.

Here I thought my purpose was to make saw dust (and I have really improved on that this year :lol: )- but the "fooling around with wood" is as accurate a description as any. Glad you joined us. Remember, we LOVE pictures!

Hey, I strongly encourage you to jump right in, I mean heck, when DaveO mentions what he prefers in the shop (http://www.ncwoodworker.net/forums/reviews/2742-leather.apron.html). It just makes it all the more fun to be a member. I wouldn't be conserned with all the technical goorp, heck I don't think anyone understands it all anyways. We're just here to have fun and help each other out when we can.

Welcome !!!
