I love the idea of working wood, of building things, especially making furniture by using only hand tools. That’s my goal. In my imagination, I see a calm, quite, peaceful and therapeutic experience in doing this. Well, when I eventually get my environment (shop) set up and, learn enough about working wood. 🙂
About 15 years ago, I began to learn about woodworking. I bought several power tools. A table saw, drill press, power router etc. But, not long after beginning, circumstance forced me to sell those things and put all of that on hold. Such is life eh? 🙂
As I’ve thought about starting again through the years, I decided I wanted to use nothing but hand tools — if I can. So now, I’m starting all over and that’s what I’m gonna do.
I’ve wished I could be an apprentice so I can learn this craft. Then I found Paul Sellers. I firmly believe — as you do too I’m sure — that through all of the information Paul puts out there (Youtube videos, his blog, his books and DVDs and, of course this site, the Woodworking Master Classes), I’m getting as close to an apprenticeship as I can get. I’m excited about this journey and very eager to learn more. I’m looking forward to the day I can share something I built and proudly say “I made that.” 🙂
