I am just starting in wood working. For the past two years we have been remodeling an old Victorian (1884) in Portland, Maine. Now that it is finally in a livable condition and with a new baby on the way, decided it would be fun to start exploring and learning about wood working. I am taking my first class now and love it! The next step is to build the workshop.

I am pretty psyched how this is coming along. This week I started shaping the base. I used a band saw with 76 degree bevel and used a belt sander with table angled at the same bevel to clean the edge. Scribing the line an inch inside the oval for...

My first project is a baby cradle. We are expecting our first in April, so should be plenty of time. Though who knew it took so long to get those edges square! I am taking an introductory wood working class, so thankfully each time I have no idea...

Thanks Craftsman – pretty soon it will be cold enough to have an excuse to stay inside working on these projects. Speaking of which…I should probably check the oil level!
