hi, found my interest in woodworking just a couple of months ago and shopped for a couple of tools. my most recent purchases are a small router trimmer and a palm sander.
google led me to this great forum. i hope to pick up some tricks of the trade and perhaps even some small projects as well.
i am counting on mostly this forum to help me with along the way.
thank you in advance.
Hey VaVroom1 !!
W e l c o m e . . A b o a r d !!
Just off the top of my head, here are a few things I think you should do...
1. Watch
www.TheWoodworkingChannel.com a lot...
2. Watch The Routerworkshop (above & PBS)
3. Watch New Yankee Workshop (DIY & PBS)
4. Visit & soak up information on my website...
. . .
http://www.woodworkstuff.net/
5. Concentrate on being able to design & build Jigs, etc. to make each cut / step as easy and accurate as possible for you.
6. Strive to make things ALWAYS square...
7. Better to triple check things before doing...
8. Before making a cut on Table Saw (TS), band saw (BS), etc.
. . . do a pretend cut... including moveing the actual wood through to the end, etc. to make sure there is NOTHING that is going to cause you problems on the way through the operation...
9. Patience.
10. If you are not comfortable making any cut, don't do it... think Jig instead!
Hope this helps...
Enjoy...
Glad to have you here!
