I bought some bench cookies. And some bench cookie cones. They arrived today and I've been a little bit excited ever since :woot:

I didn't know they existed before stumbling across this site. Thanks for the heads up :2tsup:

Welcome to the forum. What aspect of wood working are you doing. Or should I ask what aspect of creating are you doing? :)

I was lucky enough to grow up on a dairy farm which meant I learned many different skills.

I could drive a manual car at 10, stripped and rebuilt my first 2 stroke engine at 11, and gained various other skills including welding, engineering, carpentry, etc

For the last few months I've been updating most of my power tools to cordless and spend quite a bit of time researching tools online. A lot of my google searches brought me here.

My next two woodwork projects will be a 4 x 12 quad box for one of my Marshall amps, and yet another good solid work bench. I have 11 sheds so 1 workbench was never gunna be enough :D
