Hi RG. Thanks so much for your offer of help. I will definitely take you up on that. Unfortunately there are no local workshops or folks who specialize in hand tools where I live. I think I've got a good start with the Taunton series of books, Jim Tolpin's The New Woodworker book, and Tage Frid's first 2 books in his woodworking series.
It's one thing to read about hand tools and how to use them, but I think I could learn more quickly if I had someone to teach me, either in person or on video. The main reason I added you as my buddy is because you are self-taught and I'm sure I'll make all the same mistakes you made in the very beginning. If only I could afford to go to the Port Townsend school of woodworking, or stay a week at Roy Underhill's place. It's nice to dream, huh?
