Lookin' to learn

[Pete]

Hey all,

I'm Pete I live in charlotte with my wife and two kids. I'm getting back into woodworking, something my grandpa taught me about as a kid, and something that makes me feel good doing. My ultimate dream is to get my
own luthier shop up and running (I want to build guitars and mandolins). However, right now, it's just that...a dream. I have a long ways to go to get my skills to the point where I can do that (and get all the tools I need), but I have a modest setup right now, and am excited about working on any type of wood project to get my experience level up.

Oh, and it's good to be here, thanks!

Pete
