260278 "Jon & Terry Spencer" <terrynjon@g...> 2016‑11‑03 Bio
I have been lurking for a couple of years and I probably ought to introduce
myself before someone gets a shotgun out.  I am in my later 40's and have
been working wood and making design changes since I was a kid in 4-H.
 (Never made a mistake in my life!)  I spent several years off, when I had
no shop, but decided to get back into wood.  Since it was the way I
started, I bought all the "necessary" e-tools.  However, I am learning
better and am working my way into hand tools.  My wife and son accuse me of
having a saw collection, but I need them all!

My work time is spent in the law in the Atlanta, Ga area, but my fun time
is in the shop.  Currently, I am working on a blanket chest, or tool box
depending on how it looks, and I am hand cutting my first dovetails.  Of
course, I like oak, which I understand is not the easiest to dovetail.  No
matter, it will help me learn to cut them right.  My projects are few,
because I am not in the shop much.  However, I keep working at it, and
eventually finish them.

I really enjoy all I learn here, and appreciate all the knowledge that
freely flows. Thanks!

Jon Spencer
