Louis Kwok Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Hi everyone! I'm from Singapore. I have been interested in woodworking a year ago and have been reading posts on this forum periodically. I'm in my 30s and am a photographer by profession, and this is my site. I decided that I want to hone a new craft and dive into it. After a year of experimentation, book reading and self learning, I am embarking in a new adventure, taking on a long course at Peter Sefton's woodworking school in the UK. My goal is to learn furniture making professionally, from design to form and building. I have just started a blog documenting my journey thus far and just some thoughts in retrospect. http://kjungwoodwork.tumblr.com/ It's nice to be in this community of woodworkers, hobbyist or professional - it is always nice to be in a community of like minded people. I hope to learn and share as much as possible (which I have been for the past year reading posts on this forum) Wish me luck! =) Louis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhighlander Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hi Louis! Just browsed your blog, and it looks like you are off to a great start! Sounds like you get a little exasperated about building yet another box, but keep in mind that almost everything we build is a box in some way. There is certainly no better way to refine your skills, so enjoy! ... and welcome to the forum! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
