learning something new

[shouldofbeenhereyesterday]

Today, I decided to "open a new book" and learn something new. After reading through most of Wayne Cattanach's book, I called Charles H. Demarest and placed my first order for cane. Wish me luck!

Good luck!

Post things along the way if you will
Do you already have tools?

[shouldofbeenhereyesterday]

Thanks guys. As far as the tools go Streamhound; other than a Record blockplane that I presently own, no. Planning on purchasing what I need as the different tools are required. I don't want to lay out too much before I get a chance to get my feet wet and test the water.
