Hi All

I am a Beginner woodworker, have gotten a few toys (Flipover saw and Router) for Xmas and want to start some projects. The first of which will be a Router table.

Anyway I have a few hobbies such as rock and surf fishing and I make paracord bullwhips and always find it usefull joining a forum when starting a new hobby, especially if such a hobby could potentially lead to loosing a finger. I grew up in a household with no dad so never had anyone to show me the ropes. So gonna be browsing the site to steal some ideas and safety tips. Hopefully I can get to a stage where I can share some of my own ideas.

Joined this site as we dont have much like this based in SA and this site looked to have decent content and members.

Best Regards
Don

..... especially if such a hobby could potentially lead to loosing a finger.....

It would be preferable not to loose any. :;


I hope you find this forum as enjoyable as you progress in your wood working hobby.
