Well, I guess it's time to post my bio.

I am currently living in the San Diego area, in what the locals call North
County. However, I am probably going to be moving out of state within the
next year. I really do not remember what drew me to woodworking in the last
couple of years. Maybe it was a realization, or wishful thinking, that I
could do better than some of the mass produced crap that is out there for
furniture. So after reading almost every magazine and lots of books, I am
starting a couple of projects. I figured I would start trying to get as many
power tools as I could. But the more I read, the more I realized that you
don't learn as much using power tools as you do with hand tools. So, I am
slowly building a base "collection" of no-tail user tools. Besides learning
more, you get more of a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment.

Being self-employed as a screenprinter, I just don't have enough hours in a
day to get my work done, much less have enough for woodworking. I think
everyone can relate to that. I have really enjoyed reading all the posts
everyone makes. Hopefully, I will be able to contribute, if not I will be
more than happy to soak up any and all wisdom until I can. Thanks

Darrin
