Hello,
My name is John, and thanks to the Army, I live in Fayetteville, NC. I have been woodworking for about a year. I started when my wife sold our coffee table on Craigslist and "commissioned" me to build a new table. I came up with a design and built it one sunday afternoon. It turned out great and made me realize that I really enjoyed building things. I have no formal training in woodworking other than a semester of shop class in high school, so I am hoping to pick up some ideas, skills, and advice from others who have far more experience than I. I would like to learn to build smaller sized projects like a humidor, jewlery box, or similar projects. However, I know my wife will want some bookshelves and a desk sooner or later, so I would like to work on some larger projects as well. I look forward to all your advice and expertise. Thanks.
John Burns
