Hello all,
I'm obviously new to this forum and relatively new to wood working. I have built things my whole life and enjoy woodworking more now than ever. I'm new to what I consider "finished work" however, and have just started trying to build furniture. Growing up in the country I've built countless chicken coupes, dog houses, benches and heck a barn but those are all pretty big and simple with no real attention to fit and finish. So I'm here to pick brains and get opinions/advise (I know those two get murky on the forums) and hopefully learn as much as I have by joining other unrelated forums! I'm located in central California and my wife and I purchased our first home last year so as you can imagine I can dull a blade and run out of glue faster than ever now! Unfortunately she knows how handy I am and I get plenty of "I need you to build this" and not much time for practice. I'm a boilermaker/blacksmith for union pacific by trade so coming home and working with wood is very calm and refreshing for me. Thanks in advance for all the knowledge I'll hopefully gain here!
