I am a long term tinkerer with wood and other things, I have lately been working as a sash window restorer in the listed buildings sector. But I am recently redundant (credit crunch etc) .
I am trying to improve my skills enough to make a decent living from my hobby but right now I think I rank as an enthusiastic amatuer, at least until i sell something. ha ha.

Hi . I am Ollie and I have been reading various handy hints and tips from the lumberjocks site for a while and I thought I had better sign up. I realized I must be a lumberjock, because i really quite like sharpening things, and i am always bringing home random wood..I have been making a few things while trying to improve my skills and so I will post some photos. All comments and tips will be helpfull.

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
