Once again Mike, glad to have you here. Welcome :)

Did you visit Lofoten? I spent great 1 week there last winter.

Thanks Martin. I’ve never been that far north. I know it’s a beautiful place from photos though. Let me know if you ever make it down south to the Stavanger area. it would be nice to meet you in person.

Here are a few photos from my trip: https://www.flickr.com/photos/msojka/sets/72157633040915199/

Thanks for invite. I’d sure like to return to Norway one day and visit other places too.

Wow Martin thanks, those are very professional quality photos. The best I’ve ever seen of Lofoten in fact ,and I’ve seen quite a few over the years. You are a man of many talents.

I like this site too. We tend to talk more here about woodworking and less about tools, unless they are amazing and rare and unusual. Not so much about how cool it is to own them but how cool they are period.

I’m from British Columbia and have been pretty far north there. Now I live in Wales. It’s not far off, really…a few less Douglas firs. Here’s a pic from my front room of tonight’s sunset…to be honest it was better five minutes later. the dead trees are Larch…a virus killed them last year. They will be cut and the land replanted with ash and oak and (hopefully) virus resistant Elm.

Cool introduction Mike. Now I know you better.

Those are great picture Martin. Lofoten is awesome.

Great view W&R.

Mike,

We could just copy quite a bit of what you said and put our names on it! Your story is much like ours.

It’s always nice to learn more about fellow woodworkers.

W&R Beautiful place there in Wales. I worked in the UK back in the 70’s, but never made it to Wales. It’s a shame about the Larch, they are beautiful trees and their wood is also very useful. We planted one in our front yard at our last home. It sure grew fast!

Ian and L/W Thanks, and yes I think most of us are into woodworking just for the pure enjoyment and the love of making stuff and it is wonderful to be able to share our work and thoughts with kindred souls.
