    Hi everyone

    My name is Stefan and since two days I'm a member of this forum.
    To my person: I grew up in south Germany and there I made my apprenticeship as carpenter (building timber frame houses, stairs and railings, roofs, interior carpentry).

    In summer 2003 I immigrated into Canada (near Goderich - Ontario) and started as a farm labour on a cash crop farm. Then in spring 2004 I started, besides farming, my own business in wood constructions. Right now one half of my tools fits into my Jeep Grand Cherokee, where the other half is stored in two shelves at home. When my business becomes a certain size I would like to move into my own little shop with some bigger stationary machines in it. At the moment I have to use a friends shop to accomplish bigger jobs.

    I hope to be a usefull member to this forum and also get some good ideas for my business.

    Stefan

    Welcome to Sawmill Creek Stefan...

    Put on you chest high waders & jump right in.
    I usually find it much easier to be wrong once in while than to try to be perfect.

    My web page has a pop up. It is a free site, just close the pop up on the right side of the screen

    Welcome Aboard!!!! Looking forward to your input.
    If you can't fix it with a hammer, you have an electrical problem.
