Stopping in to say Hello to some old and dear friends.

Well - for some of you "old timers" the name "Jummywood" may still hold an =
ounce of respect. I haven't been around the wreck in well over a decade. =
After the divorce, I was forced to sell out the shop of all the heavy iron =
and moved to Las Vegas. Life's been good - very good as a matter of fact. =
I ran across some old Polaroids of a lot of my old projects and fondly rec=
alled the advice I received when I purchased by first biscuit cutter and Kr=
eg jig. I learned that buying the best router bits possible was the only w=
ay to go and how to properly clean and polish the top of my table saw. I p=
ray this group is still going strong and that everyone still has most all o=
f their fingers. :D

That's what people in Minnesota get when they stay outside too long in the =

Hi Jim. Nice to meet you. I don't think I've been around long enough to have met you, previously. Welcome back. Looking forward to your advice and wisdom. .... and, judging from yours and Lew's exchange, tall tales and/or humor?

Hey Jummy,
Stumbled across your other post before this one. Still here, still have
my 12 talented fingers, still have bizarre notions, but keep out of gun
threads. I gave most of the shop to my youngest daughter but kept some
of the ancient stuff. Downsized and moved to Carlsbad, CA where a
winter storm does not leave a 6 foot snowplow berm to shovel through.
Good to hear your voice Jummy.
mahalo,
jo4hn
