    Default complete noob

    Hi everyone.

    My name is Pete but mostly people call me Middo.

    I've got a Wife and a dog. We dont have kids, my wife says Im enough of a child to look after.

    I am very high functioning, but I am on the Autism Spectrum, so please approach me if something I say seems short or offensive so I can explain my thinking. Apart from that, my Autism only means I measure 6 times, then cut once.

    So very much, I am a newbie to woodworking and looking forward to it. I have a few tools but Im adding to my collection and im looking forward to discussing ideas on projects and what tools to get.

    Hi Middo, welcome to the forum.
    We used to have a guy on here who was high functioning autism and he could produce the most superb outcome on what he was doing. Have a look here for one example.
    I look forward to your journey.
