Had a search and couldn't find any woodworking related threads so thought I'd start one in the hope there are a few hobbyists or professionals willing to impart knowledge.
I guess it could fall under diy, but then i wouldn't consider it on a par with tiling your downstairs loo, I'm talking more about nice joinery projects like making cabinets and furniture etc.
My old man is a carpenter by trade, so i spent a lot of my youth getting in his way while he tried to work. Generally didn't show much interest in it at the time but something must have sunk in as I'd consider myself quite a bit more proficient in diy woodworking than most of my office working soft handed peers.
But as i said, diy home improvements and cabinet making are two very different things, so I've just ordered a set of marples chisels, a bench plane, block plane, fine tooth saw and measuring/marking tools in the hope of distracting myself from my mundane day job.
So, any others on here that have gone down this rabbit hole? Got any nice chisels or saws to show off? Any finished or ongoing projects?
