Just wanted to (finally) say hello. My name is Rick Rockwell. I am a former Yankee (CT). Been in Monroe, NC since retirement 2 yrs ago. Not a 'real' woodworker but know my way around the shop . Mostly do functional items and home repair type stuff.
Welcome Rick!
You have found the most friendly, helpful woodworking forum on the web.
I tell everyone you get as much out of NCWW as you put in - ask questions you WILL get answers. Some one here has done or is doing what you are trying to do... or you might have found a short-cut and want to know that it isn't a disguised dead end!
Welcome Rick. I am in Monroe also and just joined two days ago. Please see my intro on
Who We Are under 19th Century Woodworking.
(sent a conversation start but I don't know if I did it right - not too computer savvy.
Welcome to the neighborhood! Lots of great people with tons of knowledge. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I snuck out of CA years ago, this is a great place to be.
