And I found this site. My name is Andrew - I am a software engineer by day, and recreational woodworker by night. My most recent project was a cable management cabinet for my video, phone, and ethernet cabling and equipment. It's not fine woodworking - but it is very functional:
I have build beds, desks, bookcases, tables, matched table leafs for friends. I am currently looking for a good source for some poplar (or other paint-able wood) for a project - let me know if you have any suggestions for sources in the Cary/Raleigh area.
I just finished restoring a 1946 Delta jointer - here is the before picture:
After a new pulley, lots of steel wool, and new jointer blades, it is running sweet.
A final note - when cleaning out my garage shop today, I found a children's oak chair that I received 15+ years ago - it was falling apart at the time - so I finished the job with the intention of using it as a pattern to make more. Well - that never happened - if anyone would like it, drop me a note - it is free to a good home:
