Hello. Richard from Normandy and East Sussex.
...and from more civilised partsWotcher from Mid-Devon.
Thanks for the welcome everyone. I used to make mainly built in furniture, a fair bit for commercial clients; lots of sheet goods; when it was real wood, mainly French oak. (Chestnut for shutters). Nothing very exciting compared to what some of you get up to.Welcome Richard, what sort of things do you do- make?

It’s a silly name I came up with years ago. My workshop is in an old watermill (not ideal - I used to run a dehumidifier 24/7). It was originally a flour mill. Current one is a 4 storey red brick building, but there’s been one there since the 1200’sWelcome.
I'm curious about the name you've chose. "Mill of wood" or "woodmill". Have you an interest in milling, or in mills, perhaps?
I initially misread that and thought you were saying 'you' had been there since the 1200's!!!It’s a silly name I came up with years ago.

I sometimes feel like I have! It’s only been in my hands since 1989 though (which is long enough that it should be finished.)I initially misread that and thought you were saying 'you' had been there since the 1200's!!!
