Incoming newbie

Hi all,

Just I've been lurking about for a few weeks now, just getting the lay of
the land and soaking up some good info. I've been using some of the advice
dispensed here to help me with some tool purchases - time will tell how that
worked out :)

I'm just setting up shop and getting into 'flat' work. I've been doing a
bit of turning the past few years. This past year I got a little more space
and a nice kick start with a table saw birthday present from SWMBO (I think
she likes it when I'm out in the gara^h^h^h^hshop). So far, I've been
building some roll around shop cabinets and learning as I go. Looking
forward to much more sawdust!

Dave

Dave:

Welcome to The Zoo - make that The Wreck. Quite a collection of
interesting folks with a wealth of information AND opinions on
all sorts of things.

If you haven't already found them, there are two other related
woodworking groups to check out - alt.binaries.pictures.furniture
and alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking.

If you like great writing, watch for Walt Akers and Tom Watson.
Great reading.

If you haven't figured out how to do Goodle searches on "groups"
you'll miss a lot of older posts full of answers to the first
200 most frequently asked questions.

If someone will post the link to the groups Anti-FAQ check it
out. But don't be drinking anything (coffee, tea, coke etc...)
as you go through it. The Crowbar section is a must read.
