I am a hobbyist woodworker who has played around with woodworking for many years but never got too serious about it. Now that I have retired, I am spending more time at this, buying more tools and constantly learning. I am beginning to move past the stage of not being able to clearly distinguish my butt from a hole in the ground to basic competency.

What I love about woodworking is the ability to meld my right brain and left brain functions into a product that is logically developed, functional, creatively shaped (product and/or process) and aesthetically pleasing. After a professional career that seldom yielded tangible, visible rewards, I am finding woodworking to be incredibly satisfying. Like anything, I find moments of frustration. On the other hand, the pleasure of the product causes me, at times, to covertly stare at the results in a way that would publicly be embarrassing. Sort of a closet glee. Woodworking helps to make my life good.

I really appreciate this forum and look forward to years of participation.

¡Que le vaya bien!
