I like anything creative.... I started woodworking about 4 years ago- with a cheap tablesaw, and few other tools. Now I have a decent tablesaw, and need to hone my skills on using other tools. My first nice project was a cradle for my brother, then one for my kids. I moved onto making kitchen cupboards, mainly to save money. That's when I had to buy more tools (Darn!) I am hooked. My skill level has increased, by trial and error, but I am still a beginner! I have learned mainly by reading, reading, reading. Now that I'm a grandma, I'd like to start making children's furniture and outside play equipment.

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.
