I was asked to intro myself so here go's. I have worked with wood since back in about 1954. I was cutting some 1/4 sq. sticks to make one of those 6 stick puzzles on a table saw. Worked in a machine shop since 1959, so I liked to work with wood because it is easy to machine.
Moved to NC. in 1984, started to camp at Jorden Lake in 1990, Wife became Camp Host in 91 and I have been comuting ever since. She moved to Crosswind marina in 01 as night security We have a house trailer in the marina, She is into scrool sawing fret work and intarsha with her own shop in the front of the home.
My shop is a 18 x 20 metal car port in the back. It is fairly setup with BT3100 table saw, band saw set up to resaw, joiner, plainer, drill press router table, preformax 16-32 chop saw,lots of small tools, no air or heat. My comute of 92 miles each way for 16 years has made me really like my Prius, I am getting 55 miles per gallon, Can any body match that? I have to add I only comute thursday evening to the lake and go back to our old home in Stonevlle sunday evening, Then go to work in martinsville VA. 4 days, it is only 19 miles to work from home.
