Welcome to our sawdust pile Sherly. We are always very eager to help any member improve their woodworking. Don't hesitate to ask questions. The only dumb question is the one not asked, but don't be too surprised if you get 20 or more answers, with probably 20 different answers to your question. This is good, because you can pick the one that's easiest for you and the tools that you have available. Gender doesn't matter here. My daughter-in-law is a licensed building contractor, and she has taught me a few things about woodworking. We have many female woodworkers on here. Some are fairly new at woodworking and some have been woodworking for years and have all kinds of experience. If you enjoy woodworking, no matter the size of your project, you will fit right in here. I like to make wood furniture, but I also do tiny work that's less than 1" high on scroll saws. See, size doesn't matter. If you enjoy making things from wood, you will fit right in here.
