Just a quick hello - I found this website a couple of days ago and it looked like my kind of place. I am William, live in Cary, originally from Winston-Salem. I am a hobbyist woodworker, with two cars that live in my garage when it isn't a workshop. But when the cars move out, the tools roll out from the wall, and lots of sawdust follows.
My father had a workshop in Winston where he spent much of his time. I started making things there, then went without a place to put any tools for many years. When I moved to Cary in '03, the oversize detached garage was the thing that sold me on the house. The wife says we will have to get a larger house soon, though, if I keep building stuff to go inside.
I am a telephone technician by day, and usually keep a project or two going for the evenings. If I ever get to retire, I hope to have more time to devote to woodworking.
I started a blog with some pics of a few of the things I have made if anyone would like to see: burtonworkshop.wordpress.com
I have really enjoyed poking around the site and looking at some of the things being discussed here. I hope to learn from the folks here, and perhaps contribute myself sometime.
