MJC Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Hello, Just wanted to reach out and say hello. My name is Michael and I have been checking out the forums quietly for a bit. It looks a bit intimidating here to me though because I am really new to woodworking so I feel out of my league. I have been putting a shop together and the only guidance I have is online videos, and platforms such as these. If I ask to many questions forgive me just send me a private message. I look forward learning as much as I can from others here and if I can add anything I will try. Thanks in advance for all the help and it is nice to meet you.

Chestnut Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Welcome! I don't think it's possible to as too many questions. The best answers come from posts that are explained well and provide pictures/drawings. There is a lot of good information here. These guys are generally responsible for most of what I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To advance your skills you want to hang around and learn from those that have "been there done that". You won't advance your skills hanging around people that have the same skills as yours. Everyone here is still learning, each is just learning at a different level. Ask all the questions you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardA Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Duh, Without questions, there are no answers. There's not one of us here that isn't still learning something from someone on this forum. This place is different than most. It's here to provide "real" help for those that ask for it. Not here to pick apart anyone's project, unless they are asked to. This is a "learning" forum. you learn from us, and we learn from you. As far as I know there is only one rule that's true. "Without pictures, it didn't really happen" Welcome, and jump right in we're friendly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Ditto the above. If you check everyone's profile you're gonna find that we all started sometime. And if you look at the questions being asked you're gonna find they are often being asked by someone who is "experienced". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Welcome, Michael! All the above is true. We work very hard to keep this forum family and newbie friendly. I would go so far to say that this forum has more genuine knowledge, and less flaming baloney, than any other forum I have visited. As for questions, ask away! The answers are just as likely to help one of us as you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 At one point in time, we had a fellow on here that knew more than the rest but he outgrew us. Now we’re just a bunch of newbies with some, more knowledgeable than others. Probably a bit understated. Welcome to the forum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Watch out for coop he is actually wise and knowledgeable but hides it behind a good sense of humor and wry wit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
