Hi everybody,
I'm an American expat living near Paris. I joined the forum here, as opposed to an American one, mainly because I don't want to be told "just go by some 2x4s" - that is to say, the regional differences between Europe and the US and A are too great, but I still want to be able to post in English, so here I am.
I've been doing small projects, mostly framing and outdoor work, for the last five years or so. I recently decided to take the dive into full-on carpentry and furniture, or 'cabinet making' as we call it in the states.
I don't have a table saw just yet (going to post about that next, actually) but I have a Triton MOF001 1/2" router as well as her stand, and a dewalt 12" double-bevel sliding compound miter saw. Plus some nail guns, makita drivers and a somewhat-underpowered Metabo circular saw. Upcoming projects include a Thomas the Train railway set for my oldest son and a massage table for my wife.
I build websites for a living, and am president of the Paris homebrewing club (and a CAMRA member).
