Willy Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hello. My name is Jon. I am 58 and began woodworking a year ago. My ambition is to build fine furniture that anyone would be proud to own. I quickly found out that the more I learned, the more I realized how little I knew about woodworking. It's very humbling. I wish I had began this hobby years ago but that was another life. I have a long list of projects which gets longer all the time. I am so happy to join the Wood Whisperer and be around all of you.

wtnhighlander Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Welcome in Jon! Lucky for us, woodworking is a flexible pastime, that pretty much anyone, at any age, can learn to do reasonably well. I tried to take up the guitar at 40, and THAT is something I wish I had done much earlier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willy Posted August 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Thank you for all the welcomes. I'll post a pic or two of my shop. The cars now sit outside. I'm lucky to have a very supportive wife. I'm working on a grandfather clock right now. Always wanted one and found a design I like from American Furniture Design. My shop time is limited to a couple hours in the evenings if I don't have to work late like I have the last two nights so it takes me forever to build anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
