well, having known about this site for about 6 months it’s about time i registered an account. it was hard to pick a username, i’m used to video game forums and using video game related handles, but after some suggestions from friends, i think rasp works for me.
anyways. without revealing too much about myself (i like to remain a bit of a mystery), i’m a 24 year old woodworker. I got my first taste in high school and that was definitely my favourite class. i used to put together bird houses and stuff with my grandpa as a kid, and i always enjoyed Lego, so building and constructing was natural. i worked in a custom kitchen shop for 3 years, attended and graduated college for cabinetmaking, and worked in a high end mill work shop which did most of it’s work in toronto. it was a great learning experience.
I am eager to get to work in my workshop, and posting some of the projects I’ve worked on in the past.
I also have some projects to do around the house. hopefully in the next coming weeks i can share them.

Welcome, you will enjoy this site. Did you know there is a rasp called a bastard? :-)
It is great that younger folk join us and learn the skills that every LJ is so willing to pass on. You hit the jackpot.

Welcome from another (relatively) young guy. 31 is older than 24 but still younger than most folks on here, I think.

Welcome to LJ’s, it’s a great site & community of woodworkers. I wish it had been around when I got started woodworking, just a few years before you were born, but I’m terribly immature so I’m gonna knock 15 years off my age, LOL

Welcome to lumberjocks.
There’s a lot of inspiration here, and plenty of guidance. Some of the people on this site have come up with creative ways to make scraps, and others have learned to use them. You’ll see a lot of fine work in the projects as they come out, and some of them will blow you away.
I get on, now a days, and it’s not so much “I’ll never be able to do that,” as it is “Hmmm. I wonder if I can do that.”
Enjoy!

Welcome to LJs. This is a great site to learn & share WW information & knowledge. It can also be a not so sane place to feed your sawdust psychosis!!! Either way, it’s good to have you aboard. I know you will enjoy your stay.
