I've decided to start chronicling my various woodworking projects. I realize that I'm terribly late to the whole blogging thing, but when I decided to start keeping a woodworking diary of sorts I came to the decision after much thought. The first question naturally was, "Do I want to do this?" Realizing the answer was, "Yes; yes I do," the next question was, "Why do I want to do this?"
The 'why' question proved a bit more difficult to answer. Woodworking for me is a hobby. In a way it's catharsis - a way for me to relieve the stresses of life in a creative and constructive way. It's not my intent to teach or provide great insight into the craft of woodworking. In that respect I'm not only too late but I'm still very much an amateur. Instead, I'll relate my experiences while I learn as I go. I'll share my progress for all to see. Along the way, I'll use the space to write my thoughts while they are still mine to remember.
I don't know how often I'll post (that depends on how many projects I do) or how quickly I'll complete anything I begin (that depends on how much of my precious free time I can dedicate to any given project). I think I'll begin with a few of my already completed projects. I'll use those to set the tone of the blog, and to work through basic issues such as layout and style. Stay tuned, and thanks for reading.
