Hi Jim,

Welcome! :welcome:

Sounds as though you've got the perfect shop setup. What are you working on currently?

Hello Jim, looks like you've got a shop any of us here would be happy to be in. Welcome to the forums! :welcome:

Hi Guys:
Thanks for the welcome. My current project is a stand for a drill sharper. I did break off from that to make a quick and dirty fixture to grind the welds on band saw blades on the surface grinder, because a friend wants me to shorten some blades. My spelling is terrible and my typing is not much better, so it takes me a while for me to post. At my age about an hour at a time in the shop, maybe twice a day makes projects go pretty slow.

Thanks Again
Jim
