Hello I live in a small town in Eastern Ontario. I have been Woodworking for about 5 years now. Most of the projects I have made have been for gifts for family members and some stuff around the house. I keep saying I will build myself something. It hasn’t happen yet. I presently have started collecting some older Woodworking equipment 10 inch Rockwell/Beaver Bandsaw, Rockwell/Beaver 6 x 48 Belt sander, 4 inch Craftmaster jointer. and a 3400 Beaver lathe. Not sure what I will do with the jointer as I have a 6 inch jointer. But it was a deal I couldn’t pass up. My biggest problem is finding shop time.
Ahh yeah, let’s talk woodworking, Greg!
GregWelcome aboard Greg. I share the same problem with you – not enough time for or in the shop. Looking forward to hearing about your projects.

@GTokley,
Madoc, that’s a long ways away, I’ve got family up in Trent Hills (5 minutes south of Havelock), That’s about as close as I would get to Madoc.“If you don’t pass on the knowledge you have to others, it dies with you”

@Gtokley, check out the woodworking and turning groups, and there are courses at Lee Valley, though Kingston is closer for you.

http://valleywoodturners.userworld.com/index.htmlWith this many of us in southern Ontario we really should do something, even if we can invite some people for a seminar or do a day of it.
