I am new to woodworking. I have always wanted to learn, but last summer I jumped in by taking a class at Durham Tech. I made my husband take the class with me because I was a bit timid about the whole thing. Together we built our kitchen table, and I just loved making it! I am currently in graduate school trying to get a PhD which has caused several problems with trying to pick up woodworking as a hobby 1. It's hard to make the time (but I'm sure lots of you struggle with this one) and 2. I'm not really in a place in my life where I can set up a shop (no where to put one in my condo) and even if I had a place for a shop, I couldn't afford to set it up!
So, that's a little introduction for you. I am hoping to learn what I can from this forum, even though my projects will have to be small things that I can do with just my little miter saw (my only major tool) set up on my back patio!
