I've always wanted to work with wood, how long have you been doing it?

My Dad used to do some and I would watch him. I learned from watching and began when I was about 10. Guess that gives me about 55 years of experience but I don't do it continually. Have built some furniture (pie safe, kitchen table, storage rack for my photo equipment) plus some heavier building like decks and sheds.Can be lots of fun and you don't need a lot of equipment. I built the pie safe out on my deck since I did not have a shop. Just dragged the tools out. Seems look me longer to put them all away than it did to build the piece. :toocrazy:

That's awesome, I'm a tad jealous :cheers: You should post some pictures of your work, i'd be interested.

A quick snap of the pie safe. Fro those nit familiar with this piece of furniture, it was used to store pies. The punched tin panels on the front allowed air circulation without letting flys in.


That's awesome. :judge:

Thanks. Small table saw, a router, and hand tools.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
