Well lets see. Where to start.I got the bug back in 2007. I lived in a house that had a basement and I worked all the time on different projects.
I made all my christmas gifts in 2008. I have accumalated about 2000 patterns since then. Some from here and most off the web here and there. My books and magazines and what I find at garage sales. I made my dad a 3 foot clock called America's pride and he has it hanging on his wall at home. I have been selling some of my work on esty now and then.
This year I live in a house with no basement and a garage that is not heated.So Whenever it is warm enough ,I go in the garage and work even if it means wearing some gloves.
My first big project was a solid oak kitchen table I made oval shaped with 2 pillers and claw feet. I also do some refinishing.
I add to my tools when ever I can afford it or find it cheap at some garage sales or auctions.
I am 51 and on disability and have to keep busy with my projects or I'll go nuts.
If anyone is looking for a pattern and can not find one,I just might have it if you would like it.
Well I guess that is about it as I don't want to put you all to sleep here.
