#1 | | Hello from Scotts Hill, near Wilmington Name: Albert City: Wilmington State: NC County: New Hanover Join Date: Nov 2006 Age: 59  11-05-2006, 10:35 AM
I started out as a carpenter (14 years) and took shop in school. That was the begining of my wood working and was lucky enough to work with some talented craftsmen during this time.
I enjoy making a mess in the shop and some times emerging with a very nice peice. I recently made to tapered splay leg tables out of walnut and cherry for my twin OLDER sisters.
I like building cabinents and furniture, some of it has a steep learning curve (prototype mess) and my lay dormant for awhile, but I get back to it following the refinement of the abnormal shaped prototype.
I find wood working fun, I enjoy using hand planes and collecting older unique hand tools.
Still perfecting the art of applying varnish and hand application of shellac.
Maybe some I will get it right.
I would appreciate some input on the above.
Thanks for letting me join this wood working group

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools. 
Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"

Welcome Albert! Great to have another NCWWer from Wilmington
Splinter, Skeeter, Matt, Gillie, and the KMI folks (Kids Making It) have added much fun and knowledge to my Wilm visits. Of course, you guys could always do it without me. 
Enjoy the site 
Roger (currently in Tallahasse, FL heading to St. George Island . . . it's too cold in Wilmington  )

Albert,
Welcome to the website. This really is a terrific place. If you need any advice at all, just ask... I'm a past master at making a mess. I can also make piles of sawdust with the best of them.
