re: BB1

Woodworking has become a fun (and expensive!) hobby.  My husband bought a sliding miter for me as a 20th anniversary gift in 2014 (which I used to install laminate flooring in two rooms) and then a table saw for Valentine's day 2015. Have added tools as birthday, Christmas, etc gifts from him (or sometime my dogs even order items for me - always a wonderful surprise!).  Woodsmith dvds and Youtube and help from other woodworkers online have been important parts of my learning process.  Have made some furniture items (e.g., tv stand, storage/seat for mudroom, cabinet, Murphy bed and side cabinets) as well as small gifts (e.g., boxes, jewelry boxes, picture frames). Always looking to learn more!
