Hello Everyone,
I'm new to NC Woodworkers... For that matter, I'm relativley new to North Carolina as well. About three years ago I escaped the winters of Buffalo, NY, and have made the Western North Carolina Mountains home.
A little about me - I make sawdust, lots of it, and have perfected several methods of sweeping it up. I build custom furniture & cabinetry in a wide range of styles, but I'm most known for my Arts & Crafts inspired work. I also have an addiction to routers - I have over a dozen of them now, plus a shaper - truth is, I'm just too lazy to change bits in them, so I just keep on buying motors.
I'm married for 10 years now to my wonderful wife Ramona - You have to love a woman that encourages you to buy an extra dozen clamps every time they're on sale. She won't let me buy junk either - If I'm looking at a tool or machine, she'll remind me to buy the best one now, rather than upgrade later...
I also have a couple dogs, Sam & Lucy, who were rescued through a group in raleigh.
Lets see, what else??? Oh, I'm a sucker for Guiness, and I'm pretty partial to most stouts and porters.... So if you want to sneek into my workshop, just swing by bearing dark beer, and I'm done - Just like a carrot on a stick in front of the donkey.... The only caveat is no beer till we're done with the power tools - I still have all 10 fingers, and plan to keep it that way.
That about sums me up. I see a lot of people helping each other here, and I hop to be able to offer my 2 bits, and learn a thing or two as well
Cheers,
