Hi everyone I love the site and have been reading posts for over an hour.  You're all very inspirational.  Just a little about myself - I'm a 60+ female that has always been interested in woodworking, art, crafts etc. as hobbies when time allowed.  Now I've decided to retire and can devote more time to my hobbies which are my real passion.  Taking some woodworking classes to learn "the right way" to build furniture as well as the proper use and maintenance of my tools.  I've been married for almost 37 years, 2 kids (girl and a boy) in their mid 30's and a proud grandma of 1 little girl that's a handful.

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and I'm sure in the future I'll be posting questions for advice.

Welcome to the forum. It's true, there is a ton of available info here from some very serious woodworkers. We always try to share and give as good advise as we have. There are two rules that most of us follow.  One: If there are no pictures, it didn't happen.  Two: Never be scared to ask questions.   Enjoy your future in working with one of natures most beautiful  products.

A warm welcome to you. You're in for a very rewarding (and occasionally frustrating) journey. I'm happy to hear you're taking some classes - that's a great way to flatten the learning curve.
