Ok, count me in

[Alden Miller]

Looks like I'm one of a bunch of newbie's to this board.

I see a bunch of my friends already over here and have been getting pressure from a couple to sign up.

I've been lurking about for a week or so, got all signed up and figured I ought to introduce myself.

I have been woodworking for about 13 years. Got started by buying an old farm house that needed (needs) a lot of help. Couldn't see paying the price for cabinets, bought a tablesaw and it's been downhill from there.

I tend to make a lot of built-ins. I like to make other wall cabinets and tables also. I've been very busy with my day job this past year and it has really kept me out of the shop more than I prefer. Just starting to get some time back in the shop and really appreciating it.

I hope you don't mind me dropping in.

Here's a couple of pieces I've made (looks like I'll have to downsize some of my other shots to show them so it's a couple built-ins to start).

Welcome to the Creek Alden!! Very nice work by the way. I like your style and hope to see more. Great place to hang out.

Welcome to the Creek, Alden! GREAT to have you on board. You may be a "newbie" here, but obviously NOT to WW!:) Fantastic job on the built-ins and I really look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work! Stop often, stay long and I see I don't need to tell you about posting pics!:D :cool:

Welcome Alden! Man, judging by your pics I wish you had joined sooner so I could have picked your brain for built-in advice. I was pretty proud of mine til I saw yours! Great job! Fortunately, there are a great number of highly skilled friends here that can guide a person through any quandary. Look forward to your participation.

Welcome Alden,
Good to have another MD'r here. I checked the map to see where Glenwood was located. Heck, it's just up the road from me. I'm down just east of Laytonsville. We're practically neighbors :)

[Todd Burch]

Alden, welcome to the creek. Good to know there's someone else I can ask questions of about built-ins!
