Hi, I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. My name is Bill and I just very recently joined the site. I have lurked and visited many different woodworking sites but what I have read and seen here I knew ths was the place I wanted to be. I have worked with wood off and on for years but always with power tools. After a short break from my first retirement and going back to work again I have been wanting to use and learn more about hand tools. Between what I have bought over the years and what my Father and Grandfather left me it's time to get to work wtih them. My favorite thing to build is Mid Century furniture so of course walnut and teak are my two most used woods. I hope not to many of you fell asleep with my long intro and I truly look forward to learning and hopefully helping when possible. Thanks, Bill
