Evening all,
Nice looking site! Stumbled across it during a random Google search.
I'm a long-time computer geek who has recently developed the itch to get back into woodworking. Not that I was ever an expert at it ;)
I'm spending too much of my life in front of a computer - having worked with and administered high-end servers and secure networks, to my current day job as a Technical Writer, computers are consuming too much time with which I could be a lot more creative.
Due to this, and growing up around my carpenter Grandfather, high-school woodwork, and the occasional building project with my brother, I have gotten the itch to get cutting again which feels like a real calling to me.
With a basic garage workshop, I have started to make simple furniture for the missus and toys for the nephews/nieces who are suddenly turning up everywhere..
A bigger project on the cards is an old-school arcade machine cabinet (with MAME emulation).
Anyway, I look forward to learning a lot along the way and keeping all of my appendages.. Greetings to all. :2tsup:
