Good afternoon,
I have rekindled my interest in woodworking. Back in the 70's, I piddled around by building some pine furniture. Surprisingly, it came out looking like a pro built it, of course over the years poor joints and material quality left the stuff warped and joints seperating. For the past 30 years, I have been building miniature steam engines. Making castings, machining and finishing is quite a challenge. Of course the finished product is well worth it. For the past 40+ years I have been a Toyota mechanic. My other love is competitive skeet shooting.
Anyway, enough rambling about the past. My wife wants some new furniture pieces and me, being retired and "On a fixed income", have plenty of time and not a lot of funds. I have decided to build the stuff myself. My first project is the design and construction of a router cabinet/table. "Honey, I must have a good router table before I can build the furniture" I have been "casing" this site for some time in order to glean, some of, the wealth of information found here. I hope you good folk have no objection to dumb questions, I will be asking a bunch of them.
Thanks,
Bill
