Striving for Woodworking Mastery

If you don't know me–and even if you do–welcome to A Woodworker's Odyssey, a blog in which I'll detail as much as I can about the path to mastering woodworking. You should know that, as of this writing, I am far from an expert woodworker. But I've had success with my projects and have a passion for excellence. I plan on one day making beautiful things full time. This blog lets me process experiences as I work toward that goal and hopefully provides information, inspiration, or just interesting reading for you.

The road really began three years ago when I visited a friend in Texas. He had opened the garage door, parked the cars outside, and set about converting the space to a workshop. He showed me some of his work, handed me some "extra" hand planes, and inspired me to begin working with wood. To see the shop that inspired me, visit his site at Clubwielder.com
