Cameron, welcome to the forum and congratulations on the decision to enjoy woodworking!

Over time you will find that you can express yourself in many different ways through this craft.
Through the artistry, the use of mathmatics, or just to relieve stress like turning something on a lathe.
If you follow safety precautions you will never regret the choice to work with wood.

(between you and me…I’m not as talented as most of these people but I enjoy it tremendously):)

Hi Cameron,

Welcome again to the group. We have a number of younger LJs. who are producing some really nice projects so I am sure you will fit right in. Woodworking is a nice hobby that develops mental creativity and perseverance. It beats sitting in front of a television with an xbox in front of you.

I am looking forward to seeing some of your projects.

Welcome Cameron You will get lots of advice from this site. Ranging from ‘right on’ to ‘huh’

Welcome Cameron. The only thing more satisfying that building something is watching yourself get better as you learn more. This is a great place to learn everything you could want to know about woodworking.
