I started dabbling in woodworking about 2001. Having small kids I've really struggled finding the time I'd like to work on improving my skills and on projects. (Secretly, I'm hoping a little friendly peer pressure from LJ will help me get into the shop more.) I really like using hand tools, and try to work them into my work where it makes sense. Professionally I work on computers.
I've taken a hand-full of woodworking classes, most recently a really awesome one-week class at Inside Passage School of Fine Woodworking. I've gotten involved locally by volunteering to be the librarian for the Minnesota Woodworker's Guild.

The boy (10 years) and I descended into the shop last night to begin work on his pinewood derby car. With really close supervision I let him cut a straight part of the car on the band saw. But I was really happy that he got excited about using...

I’m surprised at how little talk I see at LJ about woodworking classes. (Maybe I’m just not searching well.) Do LumberJocks not need classes? ;-) I’ve taken a few classes in the last few years and really enjoyed them.
