Well, in between browsing links and forums, I'm checking my mail. This site is great, however I will need time to get proficient in navigating this new cybor shop.
I enjoy making chest, cabinets, boxes and such. I have volunteered for Habitat and have a general knowledge of carpentry. Don't worry about the excessive testosterone. I grew up with it, worked with it and married it.
I love the smell of fresh cut wood. I have a small shop at home. I retired from lighting design a few years ago with the desire to do more woodworking. I can't spend as much time as I'd like in the shop for attending to family, visiting my lake house at Lake Norman and my husband dragging me all over the world. But, cold weather is coming and I'll be home more and geared up for spending time in the shop.
I'd love to take classes and attend seminars. I'd really love to find people like you guys to share my interest and finally understand what I'm talking about when I talk "shop". My family and circle of friends don't get it which isn't all bad considering when I feel like running away from home, I just step out the back door or now can log on. Thanks for all of your messages.
