Hello from County Durham

Postby WoodenMind » 22 Mar 2017, 22:32

Hi everybody,
I'm a relative newcomer to the woodwork world. Dad was a carpenter in the shipyards, so I rebelled and joined the ranks of metal butchery to become an engineer. Many, many years and several career changes later I have began to discover the the happiness of time in the workshop (still in it's embryonic stages) with wood, tools and machines, much to the amusement of the kids. Seems like I've been missing out all these years, still better late than never!
Anyway, thanks for having me and any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi David and welcome.

Look forward to seeing some of your metal butchery skills as well as joining on your wood appreciation journey...

Wecome David, great place to be.

Another Northener, very nice area around Durham as well as the town and cathedral.

Hi David and wecome to the forum. There must be something in the air up north that is encouraging so many new members from that part of the uk at the moment.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Welcome aboard :)

I spent my working life with metalwork before taking up woodworking.

Welcome aboard, David.

Is there anyone there who wants to make the WH2 (South) sub-group?! :D
