I am a new member, am a professional cabinetmaker for 40 years in my humble one man shop. I cut teeth on an ER machine in my dad's home shop then inherited it in 1985. I have also recently inherited (from a 91 year old friend who is distributing his toys) a Mark V with bandsaw and jointer. Woodworking is also my number one hobby, love and it keeps my knottymind out of trouble and my wife a happy gal.

I look forward to "meeting" members as time goes on. Other interests include general aviation and Microsoft Flight Simulation and the related flight simulator forums.

Welcome to this group of woodworkers and would be woodworker if only I could learn more of what there is to know. There may be a few pros here but I am not one of them. I am a rookie who is anxious to hear all of what you might have to offer.

Most of what I'm doing is wooden kitchens. Oak, Maple, Birch with like veneer boxes. Mostly traditional fully functional storage systems that I make mostly in the shop. Roll out storage where it comes out to you instead of you digging into the back of a deep pantry, for example. My market is middle to middle upper end clients. When I can figure the attachment size constraints, I will include some photos.

I am in the North Florida area near Ocala/Gainesville.

Nice to hear from you, thanks.
