In my life I have built a two storied home and two 20 foot sailing boats, double diagonal strip plank style. I’m now semi retired and keen to learn some more skills.
Hi Jim,
This is the place to keep up on your woodworking skills. Enjoy.

Didn’t do any woodworking before I retired. Now I can’t get enough. Woodshop is Mostly used/older stuff (read “cheaper”). Still learning and experimenting.
Enjoy all of the U Tube traiing video’s
i have done custom wood work for over 55 years but i still love to watch other people and how they do things because i don’t care how or how good you are you can always learn something from others thank you for allowing me to join your grope
We have several downed walnut logs we are taking to mill to cut in slabs custom widths for your projects
Table saw jigs
Will help me as I design a new workshop!
No web site but avid wood worker. Still, we all can learn from each other. I want tips to learn from the best in the business. Interested in your recommendation’s for a sod lathe.
Hello Dane,
Thank you for contacting us.
I’m assuming that you are referring to a wood lathe.
Here are a few lathe options at various price ranges:
Midi lathe: These are great for turning spindles and smaller bowls, mainly used by hobbyist woodworkers. There are several good options in this category these days. Here are a couple suggestions:
Jet 1221VS: https://amzn.to/2Ii9KRO
Laguna Revo 1216: https://amzn.to/31ORrwm
Mid size: Here you step up to larger motors and greater capacity for turning more efficiently, and larger pieces.
Laguna Revo 1836 (This is the one that George uses the most): https://amzn.to/2MuZmap
Powermatic 2014: https://amzn.to/43eNfGB
Production: For professional turners who require larger capacity and power, these lathes are good options:
Powermatic 4224B: https://amzn.to/3zF0kvv
Laguna Revo 2436: https://amzn.to/31Ar7qA
If you have any other questions, please chat, email, or call Customer Service. 
Sincerely,

Nice job.
Looking forward
I am excited to see what all this site has to offer. I love building all kinds of things. I finished building my grandchildren a tree house and built my wife her covered deck so looking to get into another project lol
Thank you for this opportunity
Excellent
Thank you! So much helpful info.
I appreciate the layout recommendations for tool triangles and the storage. I notice you stick your stored lumber. I have not done that, although I do my cut to size pieces. Does it make a difference at the “raw” stage?
It helps to maintain equilibrium through seasonal changes so the lumber is always ready to use. It’s not critical however.
This is a must read for beginners to advanced woodworkers. Thanks for the great info!

Enjoy reading all you articles to become more proficient!
Sir, I am not computer smart 72 years old. I can understand printed blueprints for a project I might want to build. Can you send me a print of something if I would ask?
