I'm a little late here, but I would also like to welcome you to LJ. I had a chance to see some of your projects, I'm still looking through them. They are very nice. Doing small projects and using hand tools is a very good idea. It's more manageable and it's more fun without all the loud machines and dust. Even though I have a fair size shop and a lot of power tools, I am now mainly doing small projects too. I am still using my power tools a lot, but I do use hand tools when I can. I hope you enjoy the LJ experience, it's a very positive and nice group of people.
