Hi from the new guy in Charlotte!
So this is my first post, I'm so excited! Like most, I've been lurking on occasion over the years. Glad to finally join! This site has been so educational for me that it is almost intimidating. I always feel like a newbie when I see all the great experience and talent gathered here. That's not a bad thing, I basically am a newbie  Thanks to everyone for their wonderful contributions!
A little about me as an intro: I live in Charlotte, on the south side near the SC border. I have a two car garage workshop that is totally dedicated to my woodworking hobby. I don't have much experience but I spend as much time as I can trying to get some. My shop is decently equipped but my pride and joy is the newest addition: a Powermatic PM2000 table saw! I had a big birthday this year and it was my gift to me  I've had my eye on it for awhile and WoodCraft is running a great promo this month so I couldn't pass up the chance.
If anyone is interested, I can post some pics of my shop and tools. I'm working on a website too but it isn't up yet. I'd love the chance to meet some of you other members so if anyone is in the neighborhood drop me a line!
Ciao for now,
Joe |

Re: Hi from the new guy in Charlotte!
Joe,
It's great to have you join us. Jump in at any time. We would greatly appreciate photos, especially shop porn, which is my personal favorite.
Once again, welcome.
Jimmy

Re: Hi from the new guy in Charlotte!
Hi Joe,
Welcome to the best woodworking site anywhere on the net. Tell us a bit about the kinds of woodworking you like to do. What kinds of projects have you built so far?
... and yes... we love NEED photos. We get a lot of our inspiration from one another. Someone in this thread already said it... no photo?... it didn't happen .
Ray

Re: Hi from the new guy in Charlotte!
Another warm welcome Joe!
Hey, your first photo in the gallery is a great introduction
That's a fine looking, happy family . . . of course, who wouldn't be happy after getting a new PM 2000
Enjoy and share,
Roger

Re: Hi from the new guy in Charlotte!
Welcome to the site, Joe -- we're glad you chose to join and we'll look forward to more posts and pics, too. Perhaps many of us will get to meet you in person at the forthcoming Charlotte Woodworking Show in early March; I know I'll be there!
