[Woodworkers] New member intoduction

[Vince Granacher via Woodworkers]

I am also a retired accountant (well semi, but not doing accounting in my part time job) and they don't bother me too much.  If you don't take the bait and respond to their emails, it will be harder for them to find you.  Unless of course you can get something out of them when they start asking you accounting questions like how to get the IRS to pay for their next tool that is going to be used in their hobby, er, I mean business.

You guys are going to blow my cover as a retired accountant and that wouldn't be to healthy.  I may have made a big mistake joining this group (lol). 

Seriously thanks for all your comments and I'm looking forward to getting to know you guys.

Welcome aboard Carl!  Very nice work!

 

Before Clint and Joe scare you off be advised some of the members here are continually practicing their comedy routines.  I have found it is best to just roll with it J

 

With that out of the way.  A retired accountant?  Hmmmm Joe you might be on to something.  A former mafia accountant “retired” in Tennessee??  Tax advice might be good, might be not so good???

I don't normally do this, in fact, I can't remember the last time I did it, but I feel this new member deserves an introduction.

 

He emailed me mid-January stating he had just finished reading my article on cabinet carcasses and that he was about to start his own cabinet project and asked if I had something on raised panel doors.  I apologized saying I did not but pointed him to YouTube where there were quite a few.  Ohh, I almost forgot, he also said, "This is my first attempt at building cabinets with doors."

 

Yesterday, almost a full month later, he sends me another email with a smattering of details along with a soft mention of, " I also built the grandfather clock you see next to the cabinets."

 

He said he was just a novice woodworker and didn't have any professional tools.  I emailed him saying how nice I thought they turned out and told him the bulk of novice ww'ers wouldn't dare attempt projects of that nature due to intimidation.

 

Our new member is Carl Franklin - sorry, I do not know where he calls home.

 

So, whadaya think, guys?  Will Carl fit in around here?
