Mike, welcome to North Carolina Woodworker; I think that you'll find that this is a great group of folks.
Unfortunately, I too know how devasting a shop fire can be; I lost mine in June of 2008. I will never forget the many North Carolina Woodworker members - most of whom I had not even met before - that came out and spent a day or two helping me to clean up and catalog everything after the fire. Their generosity provided a needed lift during a very difficult time.
I look forward to seeing your projects and reading your contributions.
Regards,
Scott Smith
