Getting Myself an Interest/Hobby

[Oi! Oi!]

It would be great to learn something like that but I would only use it in doors round the home. I actually watched a vid were they converted a four panel door to have stain glass & it looked lovely. We also have stain glass in the ceiling above stairs & this is meant to get light from skylights which some muppet has removed. We plan to reinstate these.

Thanks Kav...

I hear what you are saying about joints but in my excitement I watched a few viRAB that make them seem easy however these guys had all the gear & space. So as all good novices I have the thinking "canae be that hard surely!" which will come back to bite me I'm sure.

I like your theory about starting small and simple but I had the thought of making a chest. Partly because we could use it but also u thought there are loaRAB of sides and I could (potentially) try a different joint style for each side.

I used to watch the Yankee workshop as a student on Discovery or something like that. Loved how they made things look like a doddle.

Well I will keep watching my viRAB on YouTube & build up my confidence levels before they are dashed in real life.

As a side, as my birthday is soon if I was to ask for something that would help is a router the best thing?

I cannot decide if you are being helpful and funny or helpful & sarcastic but as I am an optimist I am going for the former rather than the later.

I had a couple of these made years ago, turns dull doors into something more interesting and makes the rooms look much brighter.

The design is a slightly mucked about Rennie Mackintosh.

Weegie, you just need to decide whether to go down the artisan tool route, or the power tool one. Then we can clear up the possibly sarcastic replies

Cheers for the advice.

Last night I was on Youtube again and I have discovered a guy on there called Paul Sellers who has a few videos on how to make a box using dove joints all wih hand tools. He also has videos about how to maintain your hand tools.

I have therefore decided that hand tools are the way ahead for me at the moment. Routers and jigs are all fine and dandy but they are really expensive and hand tools will do what I need them to do.

In fact this guy is my favourie wood guy on Youtube - so here is a link:

So can anyone give me a good website for woodworking tools? Not sure if there are any specialists I should look for or if buying them of anywhere will do?

"The design is a slightly mucked about Rennie Mackintosh."

Nice.
Wouldn't look out of place in a Weegie house then.

Did not know that the design was a mack one. But still, I think "I can do that" and I may have a little shot at the weekend to see how I get on. Although I do not have the correct saw for some of the cuts.

I should not be getting this excited about wood
