I'm Larry from Raleigh and now that I'm retired, I have a little more time to go foruming (is that a word?). I have been butchering wood for over 30 years but it's taken that long to get a decent collection of hardware in a decent shop -- but I now know that kind of project never has an ending. I started with a skillsaw inverted in a sheet of plywood on sawhorses and the rest, as they say, is history. My first real piece of equipment was a dilapidated old Shopsmith which I refurbished and enjoyed for many years. When you have little room and limited budget, what a great starter. Today I have a basement workshop that is cluttered enough to prove its effectiveness. I have several shopbuilt machines which revealed to me that I really enjoy making things to make things with. Ideas for fixtures fall out of my head, but there's no end to what you find already invented on YouTube.
I've turned the corner by visiting a senior member here who wrote the book on hospitality, knowledge, and helpfulness. Now maybe we can do some 'pay it forward.'
Meanwhile, if only I could control the humidity in my basement better....
