Introducing myself

[mkepke]

My name is Mark Kepke and I have an addiction to woodworking tools. And lumber.
<waits for obligatory response from the other addicts>

I live a scootch outside of Fuquay (southern Wake) having just moved from North Raleigh. As a result of the move, the summer has pretty much been a bust for woodworking, but on the positive side, I did get a dedicated shop out of the deal. Insulating now and sheetrocking soon, I hope.

I've been woodworking for about ten years. Typical hobbyest stuff. Hobbyest woodworking runs in my family at least 3 generations. I'm not saying we're good, but we're persistent :lol:

I have started to add a small metalworking shop to complement the woodshop. Machines need some mods and repairs, plus I need to mod some turning tools and..- not that I have more than a modicum of metal working experience.

Cheers,
-Mark

I wanted to add my welcome to the others. You'll meet a lot of great folks on the boards. A worde of warning, if another tool addict enters your shop, count your tools when they leave. Not that anyone would accidentally pick up anything.....

I am not even sure TWELVE steps would be enough!
