Thanks for the welcome everybody. This site has already been an inspiration to me and I am looking forward to learning a lot more from everybody here. I will soon be starting the finish on my first project which is a simple foot stool for our customers to rest their feet on while they are getting their hair done. I made some mistakes and it’s not perfect but hopefully I will learn and improve for the next one, I have at least 5 of them to make!

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.
God Bless

Hello,
I just noticed you are living in Thailand. My favorite country. I have traveled there maybe about 5-6 times now, also my cousin is living there. It must be really hot this time of the year, and maybe it’s hard to get good tools there, but I hope you enjoy woodworking there anyway.

Hi Junji. Yes it is hot at this time of the year but the rainy season just started so it is cooling down a little, it only hit 30C today which was nice. It is hard to find good tools here but a couple of stores do carry some imported tools from the UK, US and Japan which is nice.
