    Default A young woodworker making stuff for fun

    Hi,
    I’m a young woodworker at the age of 14 and love making stuff for my family and friends. I’ve made a few things and I came here to learn more about the woodworking craft from other enthusiasts or professionals. I enjoy woodworking very much. Thanks to my Dad for getting me several tools and machines to get started. Hope to repay him in one way or the other.

    Thanks.

    Some VERY nice work you've done there young Bilmore, something to be very proud of. Your parents should be very proud of you also.
    Did you do the items in the utensil holder as well?? Where in the Adelaide Hills are you??

    You're off to a great start!

    You and your Dad obviously make a good team.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Welcome to the forum Bilmore and great to see your enthusiasm. Judging by your projects you are getting very good tuition and developing excellent skills.
    When my son was your age I encouraged him to work with me in the shed and was not afraid to let him use my tools, both hand and power and taught him not only how to use them correctly, but how to respect, care for them and use them safely. This was a good grounding for when he started an apprenticeship as a Carpenter.
    Keep up the projects and post photos of them in the appropriate sections of the forum when completed.
