Dyami Plotke Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Anyone on or planning to visit Long Island? It's feeling awfully lonely out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capnjack2 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hi! I'm Jack and I live in East Setauket. I'm really just getting started in woodworking but I have this awesome cottage on my property. I put my shop in there two years ago. Currently I'm working on a workbench, a birdbath and finishing the cottage before winter. It's historic (circa 1700!, crooked and needs insulation, walls etc. Just gonna put up beaded paneling for the walls upstairs. I already put in wide plank walls where the old ones were taken out. Check out my Gallery. It has a few of my smaller projects and pictures of the workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I don't always have the time, I'm always in the mood to stand around and talk woodworking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyami Plotke Posted February 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Whenever is clever, I just so happen to be out of work right now so I have nothing but time, let me know when's a good time for you. I work about 55 to 60 hours a week and have 3 small kids so time is a bit more hectic for me. How would the weekend of 2/19 be for you? I'll have to wait and see what my wife's work schedule is, but I should be able to swing something that weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 O man, the 19th is my birthday, which is that saturday, and that sunday my band has a show, its more of a daytime kinda thing, so that weekend is kind of jam packed for me, party party haha. The following weekend I am heading down to Georgia for about 3 weeks to get some hands on experience with guitar building and repair work which I am absolutely thrilled about.

capnjack2 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 How did I miss this convo? Anyway, Freddie, Dyami, I'm a teacher and have a little free time coming up (February break) week after next. Maybe we could get together on a weekday that's convenient for you two.

Freddie Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hey, anytime before Feb 25th would be cool for me, Im leaving that night for Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyami Plotke Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Could I propose a night time meeting? How about Friday night, 2/18? My wife works most nights and weekends, so my immediate free, non-working, non-child watching time is Friday, 2/18 or Sunday evening 2/20.

Dyami Plotke Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Woodworking ShowsGuys, Sorry to suggest this weekend, and then dissapear for the discussion. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it (way too much going on at home & work). Would the weekend of March 4, 5 & 6 work for either of you? I'll have to double check with my wife exactly what our plans are, but I should be able to find some time free that weekend. Also, anyone heading to the Woodworking Shows in Somerset, NJ on 2/25?

Freddie, Hope you can catch the show. There are better ones around, but the Woodworking Shows appears to have recently upped their game (new ownership) so it'll make a great intro to the world of woodworking shows if you can make it.

wilburpan Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Also, anyone heading to the Woodworking Shows in Somerset, NJ on 2/25?
