    Default Cheers, y'all. From Asheville, NC, USA

    Getting back into working with wood. I've had a small selection of varying quality tools languishing in a storage unit from younger, less motivated days.
    Just moved into a house with a small workshop room, and I'm starting to collect pallets for cheap project wood. Over the last couple days, I've picked up assorted small tools and wood to make some jigs to help work with scrap. Today, I built a fence jig for my circular saw for ripping scrap boards straight.

    I look forward to the endless metric to standard conversions I will encounter here. Although I'm sure I will eventually eschew inches and feet altogether, as the whole world should!

    Take care,

    Cory

    Hi Cory and welcome to the forum. Where were you when I was in Asheville November 2013? Look up Paul 39, he is on the forum and lives in Asheville and is a top bloke, very knowledgeable and shares our passion for wood, that's lumber to you. I hope to be back in Asheville later this year so hopefully we can do a shed visit.
    Rgds,
    Crocy.

    Thanks everyone for the kind words of welcome. I'll start a build thread as soon as I get started, hopefully tomorrow, on a pallet wood footstool project!

    Well Cory if you are doing woodwork your shop must be heated as it was Very cold when I was there, but you do live in one of the nicest cities that I have ever visited. Look forward to following your progress.
    Rgds,
    Crocy.
