I've lurked on this forum for a while and finally decided this is the one I'd like to join. I've done some woodworking for decades but not seriously because work got in the way. I retired about 4 years ago and have been at it hot & heavy since then. My style, if I can be accused of having one, is mostly hand tool work with machines doing a lot of the grunt work. My skill level is best described as somewhere between a cave man and Yoda, probably more toward the cave man side. My current project is a rocking chair (first attempt). I live in western Washington state and am blessed to have a bit of acreage so it's quiet. I'm a lucky man.
I have questions about scorps since I'm having a difficult time making mine work to carve out the seat in sapele (probably not a wise choice of wood for this project, lot of tear-out). Being a newbie can someone direct me to where I should post my questions? Looking forward to participating. Thanks.
