70961 "S.P.Schneer" <sschnee1@t...> 1999‑11‑13 Bio: Steve Schneer
Hi,
I've been under the porch for a while and decided to stick my head up
for a breath of air, shake off the cobwebs, and introduce myself.

I've been woodworking for 25+ years, mostly p*w*rt**s but a goodly
assortment of hand tools to fill in the gaps. I got started when SWMBO &
I were dating and she was in college evening classes. She got me to go
to an evening adult wood shop class at the local high school and said I
needed to make a dining table.  Turns out, she was really trying to keep
me out of circulation since we got married 3 or 4 months later...Made a
really nice Cherry pedistal table, but had problems with finishing...Too
bad the porch wasn't around...I could've started one of the first
threads on how to finish cherry...

In the ensuing years, we built a house(I built the kitchen cabinets -
Knotty pine solids & Veneers), had a couple of kids and I've built a
bunch of furniture. Sooner or later I'll get a digital camera and put a
web page up with some of this stuff...

Lately, I've been having less satisfaction with my job, so I've been
getting back into woodworking as a tangible-results-oriented therapy.
(Yeah...I'm in the High Tech world...IT Strategy Analyst - try to guess
what technology will be useful and valuable 2-5 years out and how we'll
use it)...

Sorry for being so long-winded but had to clear the tobacco juice fumes
out of my head from under the porch...I'll probably be under there
mostly, but will stick my head up on occasion when I have a question or
other relevent comment.

Steve Schneer
