    New to website

    Hey yall, I have been lurking around a while & thought I would introduce my self. My name is Mark & i live in Fort Worth, Texas. I am new to the art of wood, except for construction.
    I have allways been interested but never did anything serious. We built a new house about 2 years ago & on each side of the fire place are art nitches that are way to formal for me. So i decided that I wanted to make them into book cases, also my son wants a table for his room. I got to thinking about the together times my 16 year old son & i could have together so here we are with 2 projects to do together.
    Thus comes the need for a table saw, we searched web sites for opinions & stumbled onto this one GREAT PLACE !!! but could not find any 3100 saws so I purchased a rockwell/delta model # 34-338 made in the 70s. I am looking forward to sharing our adventures as well as learning about yalls.

    Thanks
    Mark

    Welcome "gettools". Y'all will love this site, lots of talent and never a grumble about sharing. Too bad about not findsing a BT, had mine for a long while and love it. Good luck on your upcoming projects; especially sharing it with your 16 yr old. Couldn't be a better way to guide a youngster..together!

                            The welcome mat is always out and the porch light is always on!

                            Good choice of hobbies to select but even a better choice to include your son. Well... at least till he discovers "girls".. y-u-c-k!!! ha.. ha...
