Welcome Bernard, Great bunch of folks in the creek. Glad to have you join us and thanks for sharing your shop.

welcome to SMC Bernhard
Nice shop.. I have the exact same work bench that you have ( Ulmia ) . Very nice bench. Do a lot of Germans do woodworking for fun or hobby ? What type of work do you do for your regular job? I am an engineer / scientist and many engineers also do woodworking for a hobby here in the US. Thanks for showing the shop.

Hello Lou and all the other folks
thanks again for the worm words.

Yes the work bench of Ulmia was one of the best you could buy before the company had to give up business and was aquired by Anton Kessler (producer of the ANKE bench). They continue to produce Ulmia but in my opinion they never reached again this quality.

Yes indeed a lot of Germans do woodworking and other work. Some do because it is too expensive to employ a regular company and some (like me) do it for fun as a hobby.

I am employed as a sales person for a chemical company - so no connection to woodworking at all.

Bernhard,

Good post. There are many small shops here at the Creek. Your's look pretty well equiped. I didn't see your bandsaw. Since I'm in the market for one, I'm always interested. Welcome to the Creek.

Welcome Bernhard, and thanks for the tour of your shop. The shop may be small, but you have a nice assortment of tools and you do nice work with them. We look forward to learning more about how woodworking is done in your part of Germany.

Hi Bernhard

Welcome to this forum.

I'm a new member, too. I joined this forum two days ago.

When I immigrated into Canada (from south Germany) over two years ago I bought a new Ulmia bench (from ANKE). The bench is still in the card board box, because I don't have a place for it.

Nochmals, herzlich Willkommen in diesem Forum.

Welcome Bernhard from another German (Augsburg, although I have been in the States for many years). Can you put up some more pictures of your projects? Every time I go back to Germany I go to the stores that sell woodworking tools, although I can only buy the non electric tools to bring back.

A very nice, organized space. You have used it very efficiently. Welcome.

Welcome Bernhard! I too hope you keep on posting comments and pics here at the Creek. As I'm sure you already know, its a great place to hang about. Like a lot of woodworkers on here, it looks like you do some big work in that small shop.

Welcome again!
