I was referred to this site a few days ago by a member here and have been reading posts and enjoying the photos. I'll not mention any name as I haven't determined at this time what is proper site etiquette.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Although I have retired from the natural gas industry where some of our engines and compressors made our 7,000 cubic inch engines look like a toys, I have always reverted back to small wood projects for enjoyment and entertainment but sometimes out of necessity.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The wife of 40 years and I have raised 3 great kids. We all have degrees of some sort but those weren't always persued in life. One son has his own HVAC business in Texas. On occasion he and I get together for a wood project. Sometimes I don't get the full story over the phone and find the plan has taken a serious detour after he discovers I'm coming. Another son has a geography degree and employment is with an oil company. The third ( I call her the professional student) is working on her Phd in micro biology. At this point she has been published, what ever that means.
------------------------------------------------------------------
My tools -- nearly all are from the 50s or 60s and after seeing some photos of equipment here I can see you wouldn't put up with a table saw that the table is tilted to make a compound miter or rip a bevel or champfer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This is more than enough rambling so I'll probably be mostly in the shadows until someone tells me to leave. Bob Wiggins
