Getting Started #1: "Huh, never seen this before"

Yep, those shows make you think everything is SO easy. Sure, Norm and David Marks (others) are very talented and know what they are doing. The TV shows are great at marketing that’s for sure.

Keep blogging your experiences. I should do the same really. I’ve been a scrollsawer for a good number of years and now I’m trying to learn how to do other WW things like make boxes, cabinets, etc. You’ll do just fine …

Welcome to the rewarding frustration! I find that it’s easy to make something that I’m happy to have in my house, but I’m pretty sure there’ll always be room for improvement.

And the community that Martin’s got going here at Lumberjocks is awesome!

Yeah, I know the shows as well (and so does my wife because she always wonders why I am so slooooow). Plus these shops are always spotless and everything always fits. I don’t know about you but I seem to have the market cornered on mistakes.

thanks for the post.
