Hello Kreg-Jiggers

I am a housebound husband and son, getting close to retirement from a life of tooling, process and quality engineering in the automotive and mining industries, who is now caring for wife and mother that have various (serious) ailments.

Taking up woodworking in small garden potting shed when I came across a tatty (old) jig at a car boot sale a few weeks ago as I thought it would be useful to make shelving for various bits of accumulated lengths of timber and many years of accumulated "junk" that I don't want to throw away as I might need it tomorrow.

 

"May your joints be strong.

I am a picture framer, but above all I am a lover of the wood work.

I am an Airline Pilot. Every time I flick the 'on' switch on a power tool I remind myself that this is a dumb hobby for an airline pilot. I do it anyway because I reall enjoy it.

Nah! As long as you remember to switch off before your final approach...................

I'm a teacher although I grew up in construction and ran my own remodeling business for several years.

I live in Southern CA and I am an Emergency Room nurse, Trauma Unit, had some time off due to my daughter's illness, back in the saddle. The time off, really wasn't time off, My daughter needed a full time nurse, 24/7 and I wouldn't have it any other way :). I've worked 7p7a for 16+ years, and have always been a night person.

Woodworking is a great stress release .
