Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and somewhat new to woodworking.  Hoping to better my skills and learn a lot of things from all of you here.  I have completed some small and some larger projects and I am pretty happy overall, but there is always room to improve and learn new things.  Look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome to TPW.  What kind of projects do you like to do?  

Hi Gunny, I like to do a lot of things around the house like shelves, garden boxes, cabinets.  I most recently finished (well, almost finished) a dry bar and wine rack for my kitchen area. I am looking to redo my existing deck and build a ground level deck off of it this fall/winter and build a wet bar to add onto the current bar I have already built in my basement.

 

 

Glad you joined Shaun.  You will like this friendly site.  Look forward to your participation.

We are about the same in this regard, projects for the house.  You will find alot of post in the Home Improvement Forum.  Did a deck refurb last summer myself.  Took me some time.

 

 

 

Looks great!

Look these links over for ideas, or post your work, you will get lots of helpful feedback.  If you past as you get started and ask advice its like hiring an expert to guide you, minus the cost.

Welcome to the forum. Lots of great people here.

Hi and welcome. My usual post to newcomers to the site is, I am still in the question asking category here, but there are a lot of highly knowledgeable people here who are in the question answering category. All are friendly, and this isn’t one of those “My way is the only right way to do this” places. So, hi!

Welcome Shaun to to best of the best woodworking forums. Great people with unbelievable talents. Never be afraid to ask a question or give your own input. No egos here, just lots of help along with a bit of friendly chat.

Welcome aboard, Shaun.  Glad to have you here.  Just grab a chair, bucket or something to sit on, bring your own brew and I'll browse around for some donuts.  They are getting pretty slim lately with the global pandemic.  As others have said, post and ask and some of these folks have so much knowledge, it can't be contained in a book, but there is usually a rather quick response with an answer that will help or guide you to become an excellent woodworker.  There is knowledge, fun and some sales.  Hope you see you posting efforts and projects.  

Great to have you with us Shaun and none here has all the answers.  In fact, we’re all still learning.  Post away!

Wow, nice job on that bar...especially for "somewhat new to woodworking". Welcome aboard, BTW!

Welcome aboard Shaun, glad to have you here.

Thank you everyone for the welcome, hope to learn alot and I can tell already everyone here seems to be a good group of people that are willing to help, learn and chat about anything.  Thanks again!  Many questions coming your way!

We leave all that drama and egotistical attitudes to those other sites.
