Boy howdy, welcome General Winget-Hernandez!  We've been getting a
buncha good writers here lately, y'all are nice to have around.  I don't
believe I've ever seen a leather rocker quite like that before, nice
patina by the way.  Lemonade's over there, and there's a carbouy of
lemon-rosemary mead down here behind me.  You can establish yourself
about anywhere you want here.

I'm not good enough to make anything myself, heck I just arrived less
than a couple years back with a jointer hanging from my tongue (what
they say about pumphandles apparently goes for Stanley Planes too, at
least the big ones... Haven't seen a #1 yet to try out).  At any rate, a
lack of skill hasn't stopped me from a couple of dovetailed boxes, and a
bench outa archetectural salvage that's nearly done.  As I figure it,
you just can't buy quality like that, nor machines to make dovetails
quite like those.

cur - whose greatest asset as a woodorker is the lack of a digital camera.
