>Nope, LOML got me a new coffeemaker, as if I needed to be more hyper. :-) If she wanted to get me back for the anniversary ladder, she might have gotten me a new sewing machine or something...

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

Thanks for calling us "punny" and not making a typo to call us "puny".

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

You would think......

>after all the years of espa�ol I had in college, I would remember things like that.

I get corrected all the time by one of my workers. He gets his "ingles" advice from me. Works out right well.

Thanks for the cyber "red ink" mark.

A Birthday Limerick

Tom Pilsbury (Chicago)

>There is an old craftsman named Ellis

Whose woodworking skills make us jealous

If you'd like to be part

of this woodworking art

Wood Central clothing he'll sell us.

Since I already have a hat and t-shirt I'm heading to PayPal to make a $10 contribution to WoodCentral in honor of your birthday. Wish I could do more, but you just wait till I hit that lottery!

Happy Birthday, old timer!
