Hi all,
I live in and was born and raised the North Carolina triad–around furniture factories and master tradesmen. I’ve always been handy and willing. I suppose it all started with building an Ewok Village in the expanse of woods behind our house with my brothers. Did my first renovation job around 15/16 yrs old with my best friend and scoutmaster (a woodcarver). We converted an expansive, unfinished attic space into a three room suite with a full bathroom.
I’ve quite a few corded tools, shop tools, and hand tools. Now I’m venturing into cordless. Man, this stuff is expensive. But I feel I’ve come in at the right time. I’m here to find a community of like-minded folk with more experience with this stuff than I have.
As far as work, I’m a literature professor. As far as tool use, I do renovations on my home and aid my friends (helping to give them confidence to try small stuff for themselves), and I build the odd cabinet here and there.
So far, so good.
See y’all (or should I say, ye all) around.
Doof welcome to the crew it’s a great crew to be apart of!!
Welcome Doof! This is a great group of guys, and a great place to go to for tool questions. I like it here because everyone seems to engage in a regular basis and if does not feel like another Fad forum.
Welcome!!
Welcome aboard @Doof!
