Hi Richard from down the street from the island here in Everett, Washington. Hope to see your creativity in coming weeks/months as your shop sounds pretty awesome!

Welcome to the board! I am not an Islander but on the mainland, travel to the Island on a regular basis, I am sure an Island meet would yeild a good turnout with a little advertising, If there are 6 active members there must be a bunch of guys that haven't found the site yet, congrats on the new tools, have fun building.

Thanks. I make it to Vancouver somewhat regularly for work but am always glad to come home. Driving my full size pickup truck in downtown Vancouver is a bit of a pain - actually driving is fine, its finding parking with a parkade with enough clearance. It sure is handy to cross the border though to buy tools, for example at Grizzly Tools. I'm surprised the border guards don't recognize me.

Saying hello from Port Alberni.

Thanks. I don't know much about Port Alberni but it's definitely a convenient place to stop on the way to Tofino. RC helicopters. Sounds expensive ...

Yah, that work thing. I haven't even looked at my tools for weeks. I have been travelling and trying to avoid getting stranded by snow. I felt like I was on the amazing race a couple of weeks ago when I was in Saskatchewan for a meeting and my flight was cancelled due to snow - two airlines, 2 missed flights, alternate connecting cities and an unplanned lengthy taxi ride later I made it home.

Everett is a nice area. I have been to Lynwood and Bellevue area many times with my family.
