    Thumbs up new start after watching norm work

    Hi all just decided that wood working is going to be my hobbie. built a 6m * 12m deck and loved doing it. Then i watched norm ( New yankee Work Shop) on TV and thought wow i could do that. i instantly turned to the wife and said i'm spending $6,000 buying wood working tools i'm excited!! She calmly told me " go forth and multiply some were else you mentaly chalanged person" using only three words. Would you belive $4'000 dollars! She told me things about my ansestery i'm convincined is phisicaly impossible from a genetic piont off view. After a hard fought battle i'm allowed 1 machine under $500 and can clean out the 6m * 6m shed behind the garage to use. ( technicly thats not a win she has wanted me to clean it out for years.) i've decided on a second hand table saw wich a member on this sight is selling , so armed with saw, determination and $40 a week to buy more tools i plan to turn this bare (after i get rid off the junk stored in it) shed into a work shop simalar to norms work shop. Then when thats finnished i'll realy start building.
    hope you have a great woody:

    I'd say save yourself while you can, but apparently it's too late.

    So I'll lay a few traps for you...

    A lathe........

    Hand planes (really cheap ones at garage sales, swap meets, epay).....

    Going to WWW show and using a Lie Nielsen plane for the 1st time... feel the need growing....

    Any hand tool with brass fittings.....

    Welcome to the asylum, I'm sure you'll find all the bad influences you need to keep you going.

    Welcome to the asylum, most of us started the same way
    I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

    Welcome! The first thing I would make is a restraining device for the missus!

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    If you can come up with one that is both effective and legal, you'll be able to name your price

    This is the device I use to great effect. After a day spent in the stocks and she's putty in my hands.

    "Nawm" has probably dragged more victims into this game than anyone in recent memory. Welcome aboard, Colin.
