Hi Bill. 

Welcome to OT. Nice Bio! You'll find many folks here who very willingly
share their knowledge of both tools and techniques. They are a joy!  And I
believe you'll find some new friends as well.

While most of us do _not_ look for opportunities to say so, I do think many
of us do have some number of "tailed apprentices" (who do consume obscene
amounts of *lectrons). Of course there are folks on the list that have _no_
tools powered by anything other than their own bodily strengths  (and
occasionally water power). But there is a great blend of interests and
talents, and a shared joy of working wood.

Hoping you enjoy OT!

willingness to share.
Keep them home fires burning! (and start 'em with shavings).
