Just wanted to introduce myself, stumbled upon this forum yesterday and haven't been able to pull myself away from the site. I am a farm boy from Illinois that just moved to the big city of Atlanta and started missing working on tractors so I picked up wood working as a hobby. Looking forward to learning a lot on here, especially since I know very little about wood working and have a very DIY approach to things.

Hello from GA as well. Are you living in the city? I live about 40 miles north of Atlanta in Canton.

Haha I don't think I could handle gwinnett traffic. I despise driving in gwinnett county, it's such a cluster f***...
I live in Canton and work in Alpharetta so my commute consists of driving by all of the big money horse farms in Alpharetta/Milton. The only traffic I encounter is a couple of 4-way stops that backup a little in the morning and evenings.

Welcome from Woodstock!
I feel your pain, I grew up in rural NC. I lived in the city for a couple years then decided living out here in the 'burbs was well worth putting up with the commute downtown.

I agree completely. Plus the nice things about the burbs in Georgia is that its only about a 30 min drive to be out in the country in some areas. You can take the dirt roads away from a farm boy but he will sure as hell find them sooner or later.

Welcome from Alpharetta.
I am on a couple of acres with an old ranch house 1 mile west of downtown Alpharetta. Still working on a real workshop, but have a welder if you need anything.
I used to have a 12x36 lathe and a milk, but just down to my 7x10 lathe
