Hi all -- I'm new here. Some of you may recognize me from the bt3 site, but I just came across this site while googling to find that dovetail saw article that was published a while back in a popular woodworking magazine. And since I'm in NC, I though I'd join.

So please be kind to me as I learn the ropes here

I got the woodworking bug back in 7th grade shop class, but I had to wait until I could afford a garage to actually do anything about it

I'm a hobbiest. My most recent project was a router table extension for my table saw to hold that new $99 Freud Avanti router that I picked up for myself just before Christmas -- I'll add a couple pictures. Other than that, I've made a lot of kids toys (e.g. rocking horses), chess boards, cabinets, and other things for gifts and for around the house.

I have some software online (e.g. Amazon affiliate link generator, and plug-ins for a popular 3D CAD software package) at http://www.codecreations.com, and I also sell plans for simple and easy-to-build furniture for home recording enthusiasts and musicians (currently at http://plans.thefrankes.com, but gradually moving to http://www.rackcreations.com).

I also have some tutorials online, including one on how to build a chess board, which has proven to be pretty popular. It's currently at http://plans.thefrankes.com/Tutorial...d/Default.aspx

Here are a couple pictures of the router table extension:

Welcome, Alex..now shut the shop door! It is 20 degrees this morning, for crying out loud. Pull up a chair at our virtual wood stove (only suitable for scraps).

Alex, welcome to NCWoodworker! As I'm sure that you've figured out, we have lots of characters here (and some woodworkers extraordinaire!).

That router table expansion looks pretty good - very clean and smooth transitions from the plate to the table.
