I found this place looking for a Woodmaster review, did some lurking, found it was a top notch site so I joined. I worked in a millworks/molding shop on and off from age 16 to 21, learned a lot there, got out of woodworking until now, at 25 I am trying to get back into it!

I worked mostly with BIG powertools there, molders and multiblade saws, so I find myself coming back to handtools as sort of a reprive, I love working with old tools, also a huge fan of David Marks, he is really what inspired me to get back into it.

Currently building my shop, here's one of the first worthwhile things I made, carved a new handle for an old crosscut saw out of walnut:

Welcome Ryan.

I'm not a tree and over 60 feels old sometimes.
