Beginning woodwork

[Wayne K.]

I am planning to take it a step further by having a bottle saline solution and plastic bag at the ready. I will also instruct SWMBO what they are for. (Just in case.)

Thanks very much for the advice.

I must say everyone has been very helpful to me in this group.

I'll post a photo of my first creation on this group for your viewing pleasure (or maybe that should be amusement!).

Thanks for your advice Stephen.

Maybe carpentry means the same here too. I am that much of a novice! Not looking at to do on-site contruction, but simple elegant items like furniture and toys.

I didn't think about getting a periodical. Will pop out this afternoon and get one I think!

Thanks again.

Funnily enough I am a computer programmer at the moment! Like you, getting bored of staring at a monitor all day. I don't expect to make a living at it, not at the moment anyway. Although, I have a cousin who is an interior designer

- wrote the web site!) and she can pay thousands of pounds for a piece of furniture, so I know who my first client will be!! I just like the feel and texture of wood and the idea of creating something ecstatically pleasing and functional to share with others is great.

Thanks very much for the advice on books and machinery.

You are of course correct... If the reply had come in the middle of the thread instead of being the 1st reply to a serious question asked by a newbie I may have been able to take it in a different light...

It's a good thing YOU'RE taking it this way vs. the OP, Bob. Quick Question:

I thought it was humor as well, with just a tip of the hat to Roy.

I do wonder who this "Roy" character is.

But with three injuries today (I'm typing this on the speakerphone again), then who am I to complain!

If you rest your hand on the top of the saw fence, then slide it sideways for a wider rip, then don't leave your fingertip resting in the bottom of the table slot...

I've been using a 3M product, sort of a super glue for cuts. Stops the bleeding, lasts long enough. Little bitty tube.

Otherwise, I have a tweezers (Loupe is in my tool box) and a bandana and a big box of bandaids. Sometimes I just keep the bandaid box right on the bench.
