I am a very busy, happily married, father of 4. I have been into woodworking for a couple of years now but unfortunately due to my work schedule I have not been able to dive in head first (more like a slow wade into the shallow end :) ). I have stuck with pine so far due to it being more forgiving both to work with and on the wallet. I would like to "upgrade" to harder wood eventually. I have a pretty diverse working background including; cooking, small electrical, pvc plumbing, and now healthcare. I look forward to exchanging advice and experience with this community!
