Hi from Upstate SC

[Iopturbo]

Been working with wood for most of my life, mostly construction though. Started getting into fine woodworking about 5 years ago and have been broke ever since. Please don't tell my wife what my tools actually cost.

I won't if you won't.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of great folks on here to help you make smaller pieces of wood out of larger pieces of wood.

And sometimes the smaller pieces even look better than the bigger pieces did before!

Welcome.
Take heart. There will come a time when you do a project and won't have to buy any new tools or machines.

Really? When does that happen?

I started in 1971 and by 2015 my shop was pretty well self-sufficient.

LOL! For sure....BUT, then you start thinking up projects so you can buy more tools and machines!

So I guess I should be good in about 25 years.
