#1 | | Hi - glad I found you! Name: Steve Gill City: Charlotte State: NC County: Mecklenburg Join Date: Apr 2006 Age: 55  04-30-2006, 10:26 AM
Hello all,
I found this site while searching for info on something I've forgotten already, but I'm glad I did!
I've been woodworking off and on (mostly off) for the past 12 years or so (I'm 52). I recently moved into a small house in the South Charlotte area with a big detached garage that I'm turning into a workshop - putting in a dust collection system over the next couple of weeks.
Most of my woodworking tends to be making stuff for the workshop but its great therapy. I'm of the Norm Abram school - if it can't be done with a large, heavy, expensive, cranky, complicated power tool its not worth doing! 
My major ambitious project for the next year (or ten...) is to build a complete set of new cabinets for my kitchen. Maybe I'll have to post my progress on this site as a way to keep me on target!
Anyway, just wanted to say "hi" and how glad I am to find such a useful and friendly site. Cheers!

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Hi there Steve!
Welcome to our great woodworking site.
I too would like to see some pictures of your progress in setting shop. You will find a bunch of talented woodworkers here, always willing to share ideas in getting newbies like myself out of jams we create for ourselves while cutting and joining wood!  Building your own kitchen cabinets should be very rewarding! (A lot cheaper than having them custom built by someone else as well!)
Have fun and take care!
Wayne

Welcome to the site Steve. You will find plenty of good friendly advise on this site. I finished my second set of kitchen cabinets last year and it is rewarding when you step back and see them all on the wall/floor and they look half way decent (with all the mistakes well hidden  ).
