Sounds like you are well underway…. Welcome to LJs. -- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow! If good things come to those who wait.... Why is procrastination a bad thing? |

A lathe that is a project piece. Sounds like what all of us have – one or two (or more) tools that need just a bit of work before they’ll work for us. You’ve got a very decent range of tools, Jay. What’s on the list of things you want to make? -- Don't anthropomorphize your handplanes. They hate it when you do that. -- OldTools Archive -- |

I would suspect you’re farther along with your tool acquisitions than most of the jocks on here were at that age! I only had a few hand tools, a power screw driver and a dremel tool when I was 12. |

Jay, you’ve got to PROMISE all of us that you’ll practice safety rules every time you are working. OK? -- bill@magraphics.us |

Welcome to Lumberjocks, Jay. You are very lucky to have the opportunity of starting out so young and to have a father that is a woodworker to help you along the way. Congratulations. helluvawreck aka Charles -- helluvawreck aka Charles, http://woodworkingexpo.wordpress.com |

Great start Jay ,you have a good beginning as far as tools go and you can have lots of fun building things with your daddy.Always remember to work safely and have good time making lots of cool stuff. -- https://www.artisticwoodstudio.com/videos wood crafting & woodworking classes |

Well Jay, like someone else said, safety.. Safety glasses (ALWAYS). Don’t forget your handtools, that’s something that will make you really a good wood worker. I would recommend visiting Paul Sellers on YouTube because you will think you need more power tools, but he can show you that you can do amazing things with hand tools too and learn about wood and how to work it more efficiently. And then of course there is always here. Cheers, and welcome aboard. -- Jeff NJ |

Jay, your on your way. Tell us want you want to build the most. Like others have said always be careful around power tools and follow your Dad’s instructions. You go get’em big guy!! |

Welcome to Lumberjocks! Thanks for coming here! Please show us what you end up making. You’re already way ahead of where I was at 12. And please be careful. |

The bandsaw is an innocent looking beast, but watch out; it’s not only one of the most efficient cutters of wood, it can zip off your fingers just as easily. When I was your age (a LONG time ago), my dad and I had very few tools. My first personal tool was a Dremel “Moto Saw,” which vibrated the blade with a solenoid (about 60 strokes per second). You couldn’t hurt yourself on it (I tried sawing my thumb, but no matter how hard I pressed on it, it wouldn’t draw blood), but it also was exceedingly slow at cutting wood. I mean REALLY slow! As I recall, I started using the table saw as soon as I was tall enough to see over the table, and I still have all my fingers. DON’T DO THIS! LET YOUR DAD TEACH YOU HOW TO USE IT FIRST! I AM NOT A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT A 12 YEAR OLD SHOULD DO! -- I admit to being an adrenaline junky; fortunately, I'm very easily frightened |

Welcome to the site, I can only imagine where you can go if you absorb the knowledge available to you on this site. Bob Current |

Jay, my advice, and everyone’s is different : Don’t get hung up on tools. Work on technique, whatever the tool, and your woodwork will always be appreciated. Remember, the outcome and enjoying what you’re doing is the thing. Have fun and good woodworking. |
