Popular Post Rockshox Posted March 22, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Hey all, Been lurking here for some time now and have to say, this community is really awesome and has helped me immensely on my projects. Figured with being stuck at home for the foreseeable future, now is as good a time as ever to introduce myself. I was born and raised in Arizona and despite moving away a few times, seem to always find my way back home. My dad was a woodworker, so I’ve been exposed to it my entire life. I learned quite a bit just watching him as a kid. Then college and life happened, and I didn’t pick up a board for many years. When he passed away, I put his tools in storage with the idea that I’d pick it up when I had the space and time. About two years ago we finally bought a house and I set up his old craftsman contractor saw, Rockwell drill press, craftsman RAS, Makita jointer/planer, etc. in the garage... As I’m sure many can relate, I was hooked from day 1 and haven’t looked back. I pretty much spend all my free time in the shop; not as much since my daughter was born but I still make it work. I’ve done a few guild projects so far, the latest being a modified version of the miter saw station (minus the miter saw, which still lives on my garage floor), and right now I’m close to finishing up a split top roubo. I’ve been getting more and more interested in chair building recently and am gearing up to do Marc’s dining chair build (probably in conjunction with some iteration of Phil Morley’s table) and afterwards, hopefully, a sculpted rocker. Really have learned a ton from following the bmac, chestnut, etc chair and rocker builds... awesome stuff. Always look forward to logging on and seeing ya’lls progress on projects and general banter, and looking forward to what the future brings. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmac Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Great job with the bench, you should fit right in! Watch out for chair building, I have found it very addicting, but addicting in a good way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rockshox Posted March 22, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Yeah, I’m not complaining about the upgrade. Father in law needed a new table saw after his cashed in its chips, so I took it upon myself to ask the wife how hard she thought it would be to change a diaper with a serious hand injury and the rest, as they say, is history. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
