Fare Thee Well:
Folks, it is painful to write (both, Physically & Emotionally), that I must leave here for a good while; I "took" a fall, at 75YO that's not good. the short story is My left arm is not cooperating and I can barely do 1/4 of the things that must be done. 75 YO, in my body [except for the Right Hip, it tells Me its 127 years old]. (I can still do humor) • • • • • but truth be told, I get depressed NOT being able to be creative in wood, AND seeing it done brings about some Depression[s] that I have worked on for Decades as a RVN Combat Veteran to get rid of. So I choose to "be absent" for a while • • • • I hope to to be back, but live with GOD'S WILL not my own . . . . a parting joke: "What is ORANGE, and Sounds just like a Parrot?" * * * * * * * * * * * A CARROT philip lives LIFE, on Life's terms

Welcome to a Great concept, Woodworkers, sharing "HOW it can be Done" . . . I've been "off" for a bit, but I catch up as I can! philip, from the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon, USA "Wood Working" & "Electronics", since 1957, Metal working added, 1968

Mark Stone, Thank you! I have already ordered from that "gift"+ an item I also needed! If you have NOT looked at the store yet Do yourself the favor, Do So! As a professional woodworker, I have purchased a Lot of tools, and EVERYTHING that I have bought from "The Store" has been 101% quality! When I laid floors, our Company was associated with "the Plus Ten Percent" concept, association, I can't quite recall, the idea was to build TO CODE+10% above it!!! I can say it makes you proud, when you pack up your tools and Drive away! I still have items to purchase, and I am sure Rich is still designing more 😁 philip, from the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon, USA "Wood Working" & "Electronics", since 1957, Metal working added, 1968

I am as excited as can be! The order is arriving in two shippings, the First one had THE MOST awesome 24inch F clamp I own (owning only one other) :-o Its design, its "feel" is better than any thing I have seen yet! philip, in Oregon, part of the Great Pacific NorthWET, in the USA
Hello All!
New to Skool as a whole and it seems like this is the right place for me to be! I teach introductory woodworking classes locally and own a custom woodworking/millwork shop. I hope to learn from all of you and look forward to sharing what knowledge I’ve picked up working in the industry for the last 5 years. Here’s a few of my projects..

Howdy, from the Great Pacific NorthWET !!!! That is an awesome slab/epoxy table top! I no longer work "large" projects, with Three different Work Benches, all just 2×4 foot in size, yet my Memories of Wood Working go Back SIXTY+ Years, and I was the "Specialty Woods Worker" for a *Commercially* Licensed HardWood Flooring Company, OUR largest floor was 7,000 Square Feet, in a Napa County WINERY, circa 1991-2 +/- a few inches [a time joke] That floor was of 3-1/4 inch Rift Sawn WHITE OAK, with contract stipulation of the ACTUAL growing region, which was in Two Counties!!!! That White Oak, is "known to be" The Hardest, Density of ALL OAKS, on the North American Continent :-O I put 67, 6" diameter holes INTO that Finished Floor, for 6" diameter electrical floor plates • • • • • as you can imagine, a 27 Million Dollar project has a few items slip by, AND NO one ( in the wood workers union) would TOUCH our floors! 🧐 philip, from the Great Pacific NorthWET, Oregon, USA "Wood Working" & "Electronics", since 1957, Metal working added, 1968

My interest in Wood began 67 years ago, and I have been Blessed to have been taught by one of the West Coast's finest Hard Wood Floor Companies.
