Default Weekend woodworker

Hi,

I'm a weekend woodworker who has been fascinated with with wood since 8th grade shop (35 years ago when woodshop was a 20 week class). I always have more projects that I'd like to build than the time or skills required. Its great to have an on-line resource like this; I found the forum after a Google search for pattern routing. My current project is a mission style six board hall storage bench, from 4/4 curly cherry. I'm cutting profiles on the stretchers and legs to match the Green and Green mirror that the will be directly over the bench and in my first attempt I completely botched the legs! One day I'll actually learn that every time I try something new I should try it on scrap or inexpensive Home Depot lumber before risking my curly cherry! Like I said, more projects and ambitions than skill or time. I know what I want - I can see it in my mind - I just have to get the tools to do their thing!

Photographs or drawings Dean with a question will always bring forth answers to you're questions, descriptions are sometimes difficult to visualise. Welcome to our wonderful forum.

Welcome to the forums! Your not the first to do that and probably not the last but if I am attempting something for the first time I am not real confident on I also use a "lesser" quality stock! Again, hope you enjoy the forum and welcome!

Welcome to the Router Forums Dean. Glad you found us. Hopefully we all learn from our mistakes. Good luck on your storage bench and don't rush it. Maybe you could post some pics of the project. We love pictures.
