Welcome to LJ. You will like it here.

Thanks all,

I am only very very new to woodworking ( i love wood but never really thought about actually doing it).

Can anyone guide me on the first hand tools to buy? I would love to make a european style workbench as my first project, is this too ambitious?

thanks

Mark

I have built a workbench…not a grand one yet but enough to get started. I have built 2 end grain breadboards and am now working on a Ply router table (plans from woodsmith magazine).

Collecting hand tools as well and have a set of chisels, a few old hand saws, 5 older Bailey hand planes and other bits and pieces. Once the router table is built I would like to start lookiing to build a bookcase for starters.
I will have to get around to posting some pics soon.

Thanks for keeping us up to date…
Before you know it you will have lots of projects…
Thanks….
Teach them kids well.
