Hi there!

I'm totally new here. For the longest time I work better with my hands than with pencil-pushing jobs. So I hope I can branch out to a skill that will be blue collar

-----------------------
retired my 20yoB&D impact drill - na reverse while motor is still moving, unfortunately switch parts are no longer available
Dewalt DW024
lagare (still don't know how to sharpen these): crosscut, backsaw, dovetail saw
G-clamps
rasps (for correcting many mistakes on wood and steel)
----------------------

pondering to buy plunge router, jigsaw, drill press, pipe clamps, circular saw or table saw, band saw, jointer, planer even; if ever money comes around

want to gain skills in all of the above, but without having the money to buy it, how do I gain such skills?

I'm toying with the idea that I can make a living out of this.

Well, let's make this membership work for my interests. Ha ha!
