OT: Greetings
Dave Thompson - Champaign, IL
>Hey guys, Two weeks ago, I started lurking here on woodcentral. I was plesantly surprised to see all of the familiar names that I use to talk with on Neanderthal Haven all continuing to have discussion virtually unchanged from years ago. Having been away for so long (three years), it felt like a time warp.
Eight months ago, my wife gave birth to twin boys. That's been consuming just about all of my spare time. Just before they were born I was able to put together an oak diaper changing station... Only in this forum would I not be marked as an eccentric if I said I made the dados for the panelled doors using a wooden plow plane. The rest of the time is spent working on trim for an unfinished victorian style house we moved into 2.5 years ago. While I was surface jointing alot of the inside trim with a jack plane, primarily because I preferred the exercise, I've finally given way to having less play time and shifted jointing to the noisy side.... Not to mention that surface jointing jatoba even with a LN#5 is a pain.
While I don't think I'll be able to participate in this forum with any regularity like I have in the past, I just wanted to send greetings, and will continue to lurk with occasional outbursts from the back.
warm regards,
Dave
