Part 1: Starting up
Over the years, I ahve had many tools, from woodworking items to things for non-woodworking – genereally to fix stuff around the house and etc…. My shop is rather small, in the garage, and I have 1 electrical plugin. I am in the process of building a workbench, but that got put on hold while I built a nightstand for my Father-in-law.
