Greetings from SoVA. I've been a wood dilettante (hope I'm using that word right) for years. The biggest thing I've created that didn't require a roof is a smallish (kitchen) buffet. Turned out ok, but I learned that drawers are not my thing. But, a few years ago we moved from NoVA to here and bought a 175 yr old house in the country. With the house comes a few things I need to do that are going to push me a bit. In software they have what the call the 'Not invented here' syndrome. In wood-working it's probably the 'I can do that' syndrome. Or maybe it's 'I Could do that'. Whatever, I have both. So far, having that syndrome has meant that nothing much is getting done around the house - except the list of things needing done is getting larger. Hoping to learn from some folks with much more experience as I force myself to do some of those things.

Welcome! Glad to have you join. A 175 year old house you said? Then it definitely pays to have some woodworking skills, since nothing standard will ever fit.
