Hi, my name is Michela,
I recently inherited my dad's tools. There are various hand and motorised tools from bench saws, mean looking routers, to his beautiful carving tools which when I was a little girl my dad would wrap his hand over mine to teach me how to carve. Although I've watched him build and restore most of my childhood, and I have some experience with various power tools, I'll be learning from scratch. He also left me all his wood working books and encyclopaedia, so I have some good reference points.
I have several projects in mind.
first up, I want to make a small wooden box. Then Sand and revarnish/stain a 60's dining table, sand and stain our red cedar French doors, build timber fly screens for the French doors, we are also restoring a vintage caravan. So you can see that I plan to put all these beautiful tools to good use.
This is a great forum and I look forward to connecting with you.
