Hi All,
I'm a long time builder / volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and an occaisional woodworker in my home shop (a.k.a. garage). In the home shop, I've built small furnishings and accessories through some medium size cases, shelves, etc.

Re: Hello from Wake County
Welcome neighbor. I live in Wake Forest, but that isn't very far. Lots of cohorts here in Wake County. I worked out of the garage for a long time, but the wife got tired of that so she agreed to a shop. Look forward to seeing your projects and hearing any advice you may have.

Re: Hello from Wake County
Welcome Ray!
Habitat for Humanity is a fantastic cause!  It is not only an excellent means to support the community, but a great way to pick up construction skills, especially for newbies like myself. Reading some of the material here at North Carolina Woodworker, you will soon see that it is a tremendous source for learning new woodworking techniques from many talented people. I would be remiss if I didn't say that there never seems to be a dull moment either!  Lot of very friendly and kind folks around here! (By the way, I too make all of my sawdust in the garage and try to deal with space limitations. One way to keep the cost of owning high end stationary tools down!  )
Look forward to hearing from you here a North Carolina Woodworker.
Wayne

Re: Hello from Wake County
Welcome Ray, I am glad you could join us. I too am a big fan of Habitat for Humanity. I've built houses with them in 3 different states. I also work out of a garge shop but don't tell my wife, she doesn't know our house has a garage, she thinks it came with a shop  I look forward to your input in the forums. See you around!!!!

Welcome to the group! I think you'll find us to be entertaining at least, and hopefully informative as well.

Re: Hello from Wake County
The problem with garage's is that the better half expects to be able to park her car in there. I suggested to my wife that we could just get her a smaller car, perhaps a Trabant(yuck) or a 1967 Mini  ???

Re: Hello from Wake County
Ahoy there & welcome aboard,

All you hoity toity people with your "garages". Just go ahead and rub it in our faces, those of us who have to work in a shop that's about the size of a straight jacket!!!!
Sorry Marco...but we believe we have the "smallest shop in North Carolina!"

Re: Hello from Wake County
Eh Ray,
Glad you spoke up! Habitat for Humanity is truly a worthy organization. I occasionally give a hand to Wake County Resource for Seniors. I lack carpentry skills, but they let me pound nails a few nails building ramps (with close supervision).
