....So after the first chapter I built some simple shelves for my shop. I am now learning how to cut angles and bevels and I found a set of plans for blue bird houses for $2 on eBay. So for each chapter I study and practice the lessons with scrap wood, and then try to complete a project applying the skills I learned. Some day, I will make furniture!
I am out in the boondocks so this forum is my "go to source" for questions. Yes, it is a bit embarrassing to ask some simple questions from the masters, but I am gradually getting over it because they are all very, very helpful and supportive.
Welcome and have fun!
