Wanting to start woodworking
Hi all,
I am very new to woodworking, acutally I was a mechainc for 10 years. I know nothing at all, not even how to read a tape measure in increments. Do you guys have any advise that I could get. I want to buy some tools but I dont wnat to spend alot. I dont mind if they are just hand tools. Just dont know where to start and would love to learn a simple project to work on. Anyways thanks for the advise.

Welcome aboard. Nice that you could join us on Lumberjocks.
Regarding your question, please try posting your questions in one of the forums. You will get more responses there. Simply click on forums at the top of this page, then choose “show all forums.” There is a forum that is called woodworking skill share which would be a good choice for your questions. Good Luck !!
