I am very excited!
After two months of watching Paul’s master class DVDs and now a few weeks of watching the online series. I finally have enough tools and a bench to begin.
Attached is a picture of my first handcut dovetail. Last time was 10 years ago and with a electric router and jig.
It’s a little sloppy, but much more satisfying than the machine cut version years ago.
Lessons learned:
Only one of my chisels was really as sharp as I wanted
Paul makes it look way too easy 🙂 I’m it will improve over time.
Having loads of fun!
Bob

Getting back into it this time, I elected to buy a Sjobergs bench.
Main reason for buying was that it took me so long to build last time even with power tools. I also prefer the sytle I bought to the English bench.

i built mine over about a month of intermittent weekends and evening hours. It goes together pretty quickly once you start. Then once you fit a vise, there will be nothing holding back your woodworking! enjoy it, you’ll have a lot of fun and learn so much.
