Hello from Asheville Area

[Bill_In_Asheville]

Name is Bill, been woodworking since, well, forever. Father and both grandfathers were dabblers, I guess I caught the bug early.
Been out of it for a few years following a divorce, some health issues and forced downsizing during the recent financial downturn fun. Had to shed all my machines.
So, starting over with mostly hand tools, in a "shop" on my front porch out here in the woods, half-way up Mt. Pisgah.

Welcome Bill. Starting over is much better then giving up. Keep and eye on the Classifieds and the Found for Sale/Hot Deals forums and sometimes you can pick up some sweet items at great prices. Also, keep and eye out for a notification for New Members Chat. It's a chance to find out more about the site and being a member. It's usually the first Thursday of the month.

I grew up in Asheville, and before moving to Rutherford County we lived right behind Enka Middle School (old Enka High) about a half mile from the Enka Red Light.
