I'm a beginner who sometimes thinks he's an absolute pro. My wife lets me have the entire one car garage to myself to fill with tools, projects and lumber. I'm still a bit shy of spending money on nice hardwoods. Thus far, my projects have been made out of MDF, Birch plywood, oak plywood and pine. One day, when I feel a bit more comfortable, I'll try out some high-end wood.
I'm happy to have found this site and an online woodworking community that I once thought didn't exist. Hoping to learn a bit from the mistakes and successes of others.

I wanted to post a quick entry praising one of our own LJs poroskywood for a lumber package that he put together for me this week. I contacted him a while back to inquire about ordering some curly maple from him and found him to be a really great ...
