Seems to me, I´m the very latest newby to the forum! Additionally one from overseas!
Read several threads througout the last 2 weeks or so and it was pretty interesting. So I decided to join in.
Let me introduce myself:
53 years old male from Germany, married, no kids.
Electronics Engineer and currently Technical Mgr. of a companys Medical Intruments branch.
Woodworking started for me last year, triggered by books from David Day (England?). Short before we had moved to a new (35 years old) home that provides enough space for woodworking and there were several small projects to improve that home. You see, I´m still a beginner. Now I´m on the Workbench´s Book frm Lon Schleining. Want to create my own bench this year.
I like both, handtools and powertools and I like quality. Chisels from Kirschen (Double Cherry), planes from Stanley (I know, there are even better ones), power tools from Festool.
Other hobbies: Geology, my old Italian car (Lancia), steam powered railroad equipment, photography, travelling the Amercan southwest, good food. Crime Stories from Hammett or Chandler.
Think, thats enough for now. Hope I didn`t bore you!
Rolf
