Hi everybody! I feel that I should speak up before I’m labeled a Lurker here. I’m definitely a newbie when it comes to woodworking but I’m not new to cutting a board and driving a nail. I’ve tackled several ‘utility’ projects from simple shelving to building a garage. Though I haven’t taken on many ‘finer’ woodworking projects, the ones that I have tried have shown me a few things; you’ve got to want to do it, you need good tools, and true woodworking skills come from experience and good advice – and this site seems like a great place for the latter. I’m looking forward to picking everyone’s brain as I build my tool collection and develop my woodworking skills. Hopefully I can return the favor in the future.

Jack

Hello again, Jack! Thanks a bunch for coming out to lunch last week. Great to meet the author of our new logo in person.

I am also in Cary, so if you need any help with something that another newbie could provide, please feel free to shout anytime!

Welcome welcome welcome. I'm glad you joined, otherwise, my logo may have won, and it's not near as good as yours!

Jack,

I really enjoyed meeting you guys at lunch last week. Glad you've decided to go "public" and join the fray. You've already made a significant contribution with the logo, so were anxious to see your woodworking efforts.

Hmm, how about a "tool review" on the red diesel
