I'm pretty much a self-trained, hobbyist woodworker that has benefited greatly from wordworking help sites and forums such as lumberjocks.com. I have been wordworking for about a year now (since summer '08) and have been drawn into the craft full-force. I see my lack of formal training as both a blessing and a curse, as I have had to work my way through some tough problems, but have developed a style all my own while still allowing much room to learn from the collective experience and knowledge of those who have come before me. I have a background in math and science (problem-solving) and a love of working with my hands that explains my being here.

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless
