Hi,
My name is Zack, I'm 18 years old, I'm a future Marine and I LOVE woodworking. I'd always been around simple things, like building chicken coops or even building (very crude) shelves in my closet. It wasn't until a few months ago that I really fell in love with it.
As of now, I'm trying to find experienced woodworkers that are willing to teach me a few new tricks. I love going into other people's shops just to see new equipment, tools, jigs, etc.. I love to learn and that's what my quest is in these last few months before I leave for the USMC boot camp. Today for instance, I went by a man's shop who builds cabinets, mantels, bookshelves, etc etc.. I loved it, I learned several new things and actually walked away with some beautiful wood that he was actually going to throw away!
I'm very familiar with tools and I know my way around safety as well. Yesterday, I built a router table and a router faceplate jig that saved me from spending $60 on a 6" holesaw. I just bought a radial arm saw and several other things. I'm halfway through building a 10' by 10' building that will be my workshop. Even though I'm aquiring the tools that I need, I would love even more to expand my knowledge.
This is a list of things that I would love to learn to make:
Cabinets
Corner China Hutch (for my mother)
Boxes with dovetail joints or something similar
etc etc
If you live close to Burlington and want to teach or help mefabricate any of these things, then please email me through this website. I'm out searching for knowledge, unfortuanately, they don't make a section in the phonebook titled "Experienced Woodworkers".
Thank you for reading!
Zack
