Hello to anyone that may be reading this. My name is Rob Hough and I'm a woodworking beginner. During the day I work in the I.T. field at a desk, I also enjoy playing World of Warcraft, smoking good cigars, and playing guitar in the band Devil To Pay
To say I am green would be an understatement. I really have no experience, at all... I took shop class in like 7th or 8th grade, that was over 20yrs ago now (yikes, I can't believe I'm able to say that), but little beyond that.
A couple of years ago I fell into the same trap I'm sure a lot of guys fall into... The old "I'm not going to pay that amount of money for something I can make myself for an eighth of the cost!"
Yup - those fateful words are what got me started. I bought myself a Ryobi mitersaw, a horribly pathetic B&D drill, some 2x4's and wood glue. My checking account has been declining ever since.
I now own a Grizzly 6" jointer, a 15" Grizzly Bandsaw, a Ridgid 13" planer, a couple of routers, a stationary belt sand, and a brand new Grizzly G0691 tablesaw.
With all that said, let the adventures begin!
