Hey everyone! my name is billie, im 25, i have 2 sons, ages 2 years and the other one is 4 days old. im in the navy, i have a wife, 2 dogs, a 93 gallon salt water fish tank, and thats about it! My grandpa was a master woodworker, how ever i didnt get to grow up with him because my dad was in the navy too, so we didnt live by him, he passed away a few years ago and thats when i started to dabble in wood working. ive made 2 fishtank stand, 2 tv stands, some wooden signs, thats about it. Currently all i have is a table saw, a dewalt palm router, and a black and decker jigsaw, a $30 cheap kobalt planer and a few hammers and what not. and 3 long clamps and 2 C clamps. with a new born, a 2 year old, a wife to please and the fishtank, i dont have a lot extra money to buy tools with, BUT this is rapidly becoming a passion and truely makes me feel closer to my grandpa. since hes not here for me to turn to for help, here i am! thanks for having me!

Looking back at the stand that i built, i really didnt know a lot about anything, didnt even know that gluing boards together was a good idea, no have any clue what a planer was or anything about joinery, so keep all that in mind while watchin it and be nice! thanks you!

Thanks for your service Billie - and congratulations on the growing family. I'm sure your grandpa is proud of you and pleased you're willing to carry on his passion for woodworking. As a father of 4 grown boys and Pepe to 5 grand daughters - I'm sure your grandpa is more proud of his great grand kids. Welcome to a great woodworking forum...
