Galoots (and others, who may look respectable),...
I'd forgotten about the request of a bio,...(till I saw Carey's today)

I'm Bruce Mosher, Williamston, Michigan, USA.

Happily married (she likes me to buy tools,... as she wants the fruit of
their employment), two wonderful children (altho my 14 yr old has purple
hair this week).  I am employed as a design engineer for a manufacturer of
high temp insulators & heaters (to 3050° F).

On a very part time basis, I build custom hardwood furniture.  A busy year
is 2-3 commissions.  I make sure that I don't develop a dependency on WW $,
as I want it to always be something I do because I enjoy it, not a way to
earn money.  My shop floor is littered with p*w*r cords, as I don't have
the demeanor to do everything by hand.  I enjoy a sharp hand plan tho,...  
 I'm not good enough to have a STYLE,... but I think I will in just another
20-25 years.

I have a nice shop (16x26) that sits above the garage and looks out on the
Red Cedar river.  Now that I'm almost done with the addition o the house, I
get to spend several nights a week out there.  I'm toying with putting in
dust collection.  My most recent toy is a 37" Clement band saw (patent
1879!!!! does that qualify me for a Galoot decoder ring?),.... it's been
out of service for years,.. after owning myself for over a year, I finally
put a motor on it earlier tonight,.... after about 15 minutes it burnt out
the controller (I was trying to use a DC motor on it).  So I'm back in the
market for a good source of revolution for the saw (I suppose that, as a Jr
Galoot, I should be looking at the river in the back yard,....).

- - After reading the above, if I didn't know me, I'd think "sounds like a
rich guy".... but believe me, I'm not,... I just focus a lot of my
resources into woodworking.  

If ever any of you are heading through the mid-Michigan area, let me know,
I'll put on some coffee!
