    John,

    Welcome to the "Creek." I loved your shop and especially the way you have arranged it. Great way to photograph your work also. Looks like you've learned a lot in a short time. As far as "qualifiying," everybody on this site qualifies and gives freely. They qualify because of their interest, willingness to share and civility. If you've been lurking, you know what a special site this is. Welcome aboard. By the way, you started off with pictures, and that's the way we like it.

    John

    Really like the chairs, and you have a first rate shop there. Welcome, and hope to see and hear more.

    John, way to jump into the Creek with both feet. Very nice work on the chairs in particular. And leave it to a mechanical engineer to build a motorized assembly table. (I'm gonna log that one into the "ideas to borrow" book. I could really make use of that feature, and your design is simple yet effective.)

    Looking forward to seeing more of you around the SMC.

    - Vaughn

    Gotta admit that my table is probably the 3rd evolution of the design. Vanguard, woodnet Alias, iterrated on anothers design to make his table. I took that and added the motors so I could raise it without the aide of another person. Maybe you can iterate again and make the 4th evolutionary design of the table.

    Thanks again to everyone for the great welcome. I definitely am a student of woodworking. I started in Aug 2001 and have been loving every minute of it. I think it has probagated to "obsession" status now though.

    Thanks,

    John

    Welcome John, very impressive work. Just found out last Friday that I will be going out of town on the 29th...which is troubling because I was planning to be in Hickory for the Klingspore's event. Would have been nice to see your work firsthand. Your joinery and finish are superb.

    Again, welcome to SMC. Hokies are always welcome.

    Anyone coming to the Extravaganza on Oct 29th

    Is there anyone on this forum that is going to head to the Klingspore's woodworking show on Oct 29th. If you are, you are more than welcome to come to the woodnet get together I'm holding in my shop after the show.

    The schedule is to meet at the end of my demonstration on sculptural chair making around 12 o'clock. Depart the show around 1pm and head to my shop for some discussion and BBQ. Anyone is welcome who can make it.

    PM if you will be able to so I can be sure to have enough food. We already have 16 signed up to be there. It will be a great time. My only request is that you buy a raffle ticket for the occasional chair. The cost of the tickets are $5 and the red cross can use all the money that they can get.

    Thanks,

    John
