I joined about a week ago and have been looking around. I really like what I have seen, there seem to be some good folks here.

I have been in the Overhills area for 10 years. Just when I think I can call myself a woodworker I come across a project that lets me know just how ignorant I am. I have been making dust from boards for about 15 years on my own, reading magazines and project books trying to learn. I am always learning new techniques, always looking for an easier way to do something. I have found that most of my time is taken up by figuring out how to make a profile on molding or making a joint.

My first table saw was a 7.5" skil saw mounted on a piece of ply wood on top of a 5 gal bucket and I would clamp a piece of angle iron to the ply wood for a rip fence.

I have noticed that you want pictures so I put some in the photo album I have not figured out how to put them in the post...:icon_thum

Thanks for the warm welcome!:icon_thum

The butcher block does not fit my kitchen, I built it for a guy to fo on his island in his kitchen, bad thing the island did not fit in his kitchen. But that is what he wanted.

You do have people close by to you.
Geoff, myself, NCpete, Terry, Chuck, just to name a few.
Very nice cutting board. Maybe I missed it, but how long of a project was that as far as time to assemble went??

That thing took 17 weeks or 8 hours a week for 136 hours. I am active duty Air Force and only work on projects 1 day off a week. My wife was very understanding about me gluing it up on the ketchin floor, bless her heart, she is a wonderful woman.:gar-Bi
