Just fell off ther turnip truck

and landed here.

I haven't a clue how to introduce myself - never done it before- but then I've never been greeted so warmly to a forum, so I figured I'd try.

Husband, Father, Grandfather first. Attorney late in life, before that engineer, and before that machinist, toolmaker, before that truck driver (straight jobs), and before that garbage collector and factory line worker.Before that, you don't want to know.

My interest in woodworking started when I was way Po' with a little family and too young to know about limitations and I needed furniture that I couldn't afford and then wanted a guitar that was more spendy than my wallet could handle and everything grew from that.

My shop has grown from found tools on the side of the road and trash heaps to my first craftsman table saw ( still have it) - I even found an antique shop made reciprocating Oak frame Re-saw machine in a dump and restored it converted it from treadle to electric and used it for years. Now I have a Hammer K3 Slider & AD 31 12"-JP, an Aggazani B-20 ,an old Walker Turner lathe, a Walker Turner DP, a Darra James 218 Scroll saw, and a slew of hand held power tools and chisels planes galore. The shop made machinery: a milling machine, a hand saw toother, a router table a 10" grinder station

Now if I could only learn to pick up after myself.

Where'd I leave that Broom?

Well allow me to add one more howdy to the mix you already have. I'm more of a pen turner myself, although here lately Ihave been working on a few bowls and other things.

Feel free to dive into any of the discussions and if you haven't been told yet, We love pictures of anything you are making and other interesting finds.

Pull up a chair and sit a spell. Welcome to TPW

That's one space age looking "still"!

Nice one man cross cut saw, too. I have one like it that we used to use to cut holes in the ice so we could go scuba diving under the ice.
