New to wood working, trying to figure it all out. Finally got tired of my old hobby of model cars my father is doing some fine wood work so I decided to give it a wirl. Small shop space and limited money to spend might make it a slow process but I guess everyone has to start somewhere. As to my buddy icon that is my other passion, coffee. And incase you are wondering yes I made it myself.
