Just wanted to post my introduction.
I'm relatively new to woodworking and after some research have decided to go about it the neander way, figured I could equip my shop piece by piece for about the price of a nice cabinet saw and considering I'm not in any rush it would also be a good way to learn the craft. So far, I've talked to a few woodworkers in the Austin area, and taken a few classes with both hand and power tools. After reading a few books I've taken a liking to the anarchist's toolchest and like how it has a layout and explanation of some of the basic tools that work for building furniture.
Currently in the process of converting our 2 car garage to a shop, just tore down a wall separating the 2 garages so I've got a nice space to get things going.
After looking into a few more books on the subject, I saw some high recommendations of the Jointer and the Cabinietmaker, along with the plans in it for some basic projects. I was going to tackle some of those builds as my first few independent projects.
I've been lurking in the forums for a little while now and appreciate all the knowledge and advice!
