rickbuddy's Workshop

Now that’s what I would call a “starter” shop!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Thanx Gary!
It’s not all quite that bad.
I have the usual assortment of drills, hammers, screwdrivers, measuring devices etc. that Joe Homeowner accumulates over time.
Let’s just say I’m one baby step out of the starting gate.

-- Rick Snail, Omaha, NE --The only stupid question is one that isn't asked.

Most people would be quite surprised just how much can be made just with them tools.

Hi Rick,

I am just getting around to some of the posts I have missed. Your shop picture made my day. Gary’s signature says it best. My father was a third generation carpenter and this is all he ever used to cut trim. I still have a couple of his miter boxes but never learned to use them which is a reflection on my handskills. I have come to believe that if you develop your hand skills firsts then the switch to power tools is much easier. But the reverse is much harder.

You have a nice start on your shop. You are learning a time honored and valuable skill.

Thanks for sharing.
