That describes me to a 'T'. My father is a mechanic and a jack of all
trades, so growing up in my house, you learned a lot about a lot of
different things. I think that this type of upbringing made me the same
way. I just get the need to tinker around with stuff, build things, fix
stuff, etc
One of the reasons I got into software was to fulfill my burning creative need
to build stuff. I get itchy if I don't have an outlet for it. I am glad to see
other people interested in this stuff, too, though I must admit lately I am far
more interested in building quick functional things rather

That is the true beauty of a tansu. It is a bunch of potentially mismatched
chests that are stacked to provide steps up to another floor. Think of it as
the storage under steps as well as the steps. Each step/unit does not have to
match. They don't need to be of the same wood, the same size, or

My worst offense was 10 8' 3/4"x3/4" red oak boards.
The T after 7pm was fine, but the taxi driver was a little put out at first.

I have no idea what a shoji screen or step tansu are, but they sound
cool! With all that hand work, you are like the one bedroom apartment Norm

The one I can recommend (although I haven't been in a few years) is the Eagle

as scrap metal - by the pound!
Also, any older permanent flea market set in a brick mill building often has

I have commandeered the basement in our house. It is the only place that
my wife won't touch. I have a nice little finished room down there with

The other side has my potential woodworking
All my big stuff is in storage, but my hand tools are in my 1 bedroom apartment.
I typically lay out a large piece of canvas for each project, and just wrap it
up when not working on it.
I've built shoji screens, a couple of step tansu, a low computer table, a bed
platform, a couple of lights,
Yea, a router is actually high on that list. Just completely forgot about it.

I could really care less about appearance. Functionality seals the deal
for me. I recently inherited my grandfather's set of tools (he was an auto
mechanic by trade), and there are some really solid tools in there that
still work as well as they did 50 years ago. Not an ounce of plastic on

Collecting dust? Yes. For sale, sorry, no.
I'm also meddling in the ways of the woodworker.
I just recently used my router that I've had for several years. Great tool!
You might want to put one on your wish list.
I have yet to try any
If you like new (power) tools, then Home Depot and Lowes will be fine, but if
you are looking for professional grade tools, I would suggest taking a long
weekend, getting in the car and touring mid-mass and mid-connecticut looking
through pawn shops and junk dealers. Just follow the Connecticut
So, after purchasing my first house, I decided that I wanted to resurrect
my old woodworking skills (or lack thereof). Problem is, I have very
