Hello
They encourage new members to say hello in this section so here I am.
I think I am fairly close to qualify as a jack of all trades. Carpenter and joiner and certified construction engineer. My life has a tendency to repeatedly take unexpected and potentially disastrous turns which I have so far always found a way to sort out. Though the path is winding and I have ended up with a rather strange combination of skills and lack of skills along the road.
For instance I have done quite a bit of traditional log house carpentry, made quite a few custom window frames, poured my own white metal bearings, welded cast iron, and rewound a burned out electrical motor....... but I am totally unable to varnish anything with a result that even the most forgiving customer would accept.
I am a Finland Swede from Österbotten. Not a Finn....... there is some very significant difference:U..... though most of the Finns are nice people too.
I think in Swedish and write in English so if I write something offending or stupid this might be just a wee misshap in the translation department....... or it may just be a streak of inherent stupidity coming through.......
I came to this forum primarily to get some help with my dust collector build. Though I have a well known tendency to get pulled into interesting discussions so who knows how this will turn out.
