Welcome to the Creek Mike, you will undoubtedly enjoy the water here, I'm going to beat Jim K to the punch and ask where you are located. It helps to have it in your profile when you ask questions.

[Lee Schierer]

Welcome to the Creek. Wade right in new woodworkers are always welcome.

Hi Mike. Welcome to SMC.

Jump in, swim around. Water's fine.

One tip: I would definitely spend some time figuring out how to upload photos. "Pix are worth 1000 words" around here, and it's been my experience that accompanying questions with photos gets much quicker responses than without.

Would love to see your chairs and c-boards.

Hello Mike! Welcome!

[David Eisenhauer]

Welcome fellow ex Oaker. Lots of good stuff here. Photos are not that difficult here and I speak as a tech challenged retiree. You can do it and posted photos at SMC are rewarded with free lottery ticket advice.

[Daniel O'Neill]

Welcome! Lots of good info & discussions here. I don't have the experience you do but I've learned a ton and everyone is kind & helpful.

[Chris Padilla]

Glad to have you aboard, Mike! We like pictures...A LOT! Post away when you have a chance and don't shy from asking for help!

Hi Mike. Nice to meet you, but I'm sorry to say that username ("Mike") has already been taken. You'll have to come up with something else ;) (just kidding, of course)

There's a saying on this board (mostly related to gear acquisition gloats, but it fits most situations): if there are no pictures, then it didn't happen.

Also - don't forget to add a location to your profile, so that folks can offer advice, news, or even help with gear that's in your general vicinity.

Welcome aboard Mike!!
