Thread: Hello, I am New

Start small, decide what you would like to make that would inspire your passion and creativity. What made you decide to get back into woodwork? Did a duck fly past?

Haha, very funny. Actually I sort of just remembered doing it and was like "hey! That was a cool hobby I used to have!" and that was pretty much it. No dramatic, 3am epiphany.

Do you know of any small, simple woodworking patterns/projects I could immerse myself in, as a beginner?

welcome krisology , just keep strolling though these posts and i am sure you will find lots of tips and sited.

Welcome aboard Krisology,
my advice would be to do that which sparks great interest/passion, and that way the rest usually follows. To just have a go and not get bogged down with 'rules' and conventions. Just be safe and enjoy the journey.
