I will be retiring December 31st, 2019. I want to say how much I've enjoy talking and giving advise on the forum.
I'm sure Wood-Mizer will continue to support the forum and those on here with the help needed.

Enjoy your retirement! You have been very helpful to me in the past. Thank you.
Thirty plus years in the sawmill/millwork business. A sore back and arthritic fingers to prove it!

Congratulations!  Remember to mix in some fun with all the other things retired people get into!  It is easy to try to do all the stuff around the house in the first couple of months. Whatever you choose to do enjoy!
