 Hi everybody

Since i came out from under the porch to ask a question, i thought i
better post a bio.

My name is Ralph Johnson, i am 54 years young, even though i feel a lot
older some days now. I live in Mansfield Tx with my LOML (Anne) and have
been married for 25 years. I have been interested in woodworking since i
was about 7 or 8 when my dad built most of the furniture in our house.
Did 3 years of wood shop in school but soon as i was old enough i change
to auto shop and i forgot about woodworking for awhile.

In the late 80's i found Saint Roy on PBS and decide i need a hobby to
keep me out of trouble. haha SWMBO says it hasn't help much. haha At
that time i didn't know about old tools are how to use them I just
thought that Roy was cool, so i tried to buy a few new hand tools but
never had much luck with them, so i followed Norm's path and went with
power tools.

Then in 2001 I discovered the porch and have been happily sliding down
the slope every since. Due to health problems in the mid 2000's i
haven't been able to spend much time in the shop but now i hope to spend
a lot more time out there, so i will be asking lots more questions.
Anyway i guess that is enough for now.

I do want to think everybody on the this list because i have learn a lot
over the years and it gave me something to look forward too when i could
not do anything else.

thanks

Ralph
