Welcome to Lumberjocks!

There are all levels of expertise and experience here, and I think you’ll find most all the LJs to be helpful and responsive. I certainly have. You are right in defining woodworking as a lifelong hobby / persuit. This woodworker has just begun to learn the craft, after making things as needed for a long time.

The one lesson I keep on learning is humility…...... Just about the time when you think you have learned something, the woodworking gods remind you that we all goof.

BTW, age is a relative thing, and is related somehow to attitude. Most all of us have a good one. Looking forward to your first project.
