I've always dabbled with wood. Mostly construction of arbors, gazebos, bookshelves, closet organizers...... Now that I'm retired I want to make furniture. Having taken a course in Basic Woodworking I find I need a bandsaw, a planer, a router table and a jointer! I'll have to figure out if I should buy new, used, or a combo. First project-up, bunkbeds for the grandchildren. I'm a Southern California Boy whose lived in Atlanta, Chicago, Plano, TX and now Belmont North Carolina and glad to be here. Thanks for the Great Site.
