Jon Ellwood Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hello. I am new to woodworking. What started out as a "hey I think I can build a desk into that wall" about a year ago has really turned into a relaxing, frustration, happy-angry, place for me. I have a somewhat stressful job (at times) and the joy of sitting and hand sanding something is almost zen like at times. I have been trying new (too me) things over the last year and have really come to enjoy the smaller, detailed, type stuff. For example a built a hammer for my son modeled -somewhat- after something from a video game we enjoy playing. The joining of those things has really brought me into a different realm of projects and ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Ellwood Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Very cool! Thanks so much. I have been watching a ton of videos online and after watching Mr. Spagnulo's interview with Leo Laporte I checked out his actual website and have been watching his videos like crazy. He frequently references the feedback he received about projects so I figured this was a good next step to meet the people that gave it.
