I started out as a carpenter (14 years) and took shop in school. That was the begining of my wood working and was lucky enough to work with some talented craftsmen during this time.
I enjoy making a mess in the shop and some times emerging with a very nice peice. I recently made to tapered splay leg tables out of walnut and cherry for my twin OLDER sisters.
I like building cabinents and furniture, some of it has a steep learning curve (prototype mess) and my lay dormant for awhile, but I get back to it following the refinement of the abnormal shaped prototype.
I find wood working fun, I enjoy using hand planes and collecting older unique hand tools.
Still perfecting the art of applying varnish and hand application of shellac.
Maybe some I will get it right.
I would appreciate some input on the above.
Thanks for letting me join this wood working group
