Greetings

[Mr Maguire]

Hi all,
I came across this forum a short while back and after spending several hours browsing though I decided to sign up but for some reason havent come back until now :shock:
Anyway I stumbled across it again and thought it was time to introduce myself.

My name is Richard Maguire and I make furniture for a living, I try to work exclusively with hand tools trying to follow historic techniques. I strongly believe that hand tools can be as efficient as machines for an individual furniture maker. (although I do own some rather nice machinery for those special occasions :wink: )

I know I will pick a lot up from reading this forum and i hope to give some back as well.

Cheers for now

Richard

Welcome Richard, to the forum.
Pictures, we must have pictures. One pictures is worth a thousand words.
Without pictures, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

were you the original Lincolnshire apprentice? you seem well known around here

I use hand tools when its too dangerous to cut something small with machinery, but I have two cuts on my hand today using them.
