Hello

[WoodYewToo]

Only recently found this forum... and it looks like an extremely rich source of information and inspiration.

I'm just a keen DIYer who - many years ago - did a reasonable-ish amount of house renovation and a bit or rudimentary cabinet work (no training - just a little bit of a background in engineering). Then life and work got in the way, the years passed - and I now find I've got a list of jobs and projects that'll take me a couple of lifetimes to complete. Meanwhile, so much has changed in the world of tools and techniques so I'm looking to re-learn the little I used to understand... wipe the dust of my old tools... source a few extra bits and bobs... and get stuck into a few projects.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
Plenty of good advice to be had here, and if you're ever looking
for an opinion you'll not be shortchanged.
Enjoy....

Thanks, Daniel2

Welcome! Beware, politics, religion, and covid conspiracies are all up for discussion, but people lose their sh#t if you mention sharpening.

Thanks jcassidy.
To be honest... I'm not the sharpest tool in the box - so I'm probably immune to sharpening issues.

Welcome, I was in your position about a year ago.

One year later and my bank balance is nowhere near as healthy but I am pleased with all of the tools that I never knew I needed.

Welcome to the forum. Pretty new here myself.

Your intro sounds a bit like me back in 1981 when I renovated an old dilapidated farmhouse on the west Yorkshire moors making window frames, doing plumbing, electrics etc., etc.
