After a slight tease of being put on the waitlist, Addison Woodworking Supplies called to let me know they have space for me in their monthly Intro to Woodworking class. I couldn’t be more excited because all my life people have told me how amazing wood is and at the ripe age of 25, I am just now figuring this out for myself.
For the past two days, I’ve worked with five lovely gentlemen in making a solid nicknack rack. Being a young female in a class of two retired gents and two mid-thirties guys always makes me feel special, but never once did I feel out of place. The man who taught the class was a gentleman who I assume has woodworked practically his entire life. While he focused on teaching us the lingo and proper tool safety, it was his candor and dry wit that stuck with me.
Setup: We used different types of woods, but the best stuff was hidden in the back of the store.
