Its a lot of fun creating these pieces. I was hooked at an early age and still think its a lot fun only without having to deal with the business end of it all. Sadly, I hardly build anything in the shop amymore for myself.

I love coming up with an idea and then the satisfaction when it's done. It can be a little nerve wracking when I'm getting ready to start and thinking "OK, I know what I want it to look like, how the fark do I make that happen?" That's when I think it would have been nice to have been taught by a family member or something. I took wood shop in the 10th grade, but then moved schools part way through the year so only made a couple of simple pieces.

I'm fairly certain I'll end up with a table saw, mitre saw and track saw. I'm going to get a better table saw than the last one that I had.
